GTTP@ESA 2010

I am very glad to inform you the 2010 edition of GTTP@ESA training session is already announced. Although the session this year is not open to nations that are not members of ESA or cooperating states we are working to enlarge this offer to nations around the world. GTTP@ESA will continue in the following years and great plans are on march.

Next GHOU meeting will take place during the last week of July in Yerkes Observatory (USA). The LOC is already starting to work and we hope to have more information for all of you very soon.

 

GHOU 2010

 

Last August we had our  yearly Global Hands-on Universe meeting in Munich. We had a very productive meeting preceded by  a GTTP session.  We had wonderful resources an tools presented to the trainees. Among them: Salsa J, AntMe, Thinking Worlds, Google Wave, etc. We have also successfully approved GHOU Association by laws, so we are now ready for the admission of new members. We have also set up an amazing communication team …

GTTP @IYA2009 Report

A big congratulation to the International Coordination. What a unique example of global cooperation. GTTP and GHOU are very present there. We can all be very proud by our achievements,

Now the future lies ahead of us and everyone’s help and advices is important to keep this momentum going. I am bold enough to say that we are indeed changing the world to a better place.
