Announcement of a Workshop on Herschel Key Project Opportunities
The NASA Herschel Science Center (NHSC) would like to bring to your
attention a workshop that is being organized to present the Herschel
Key Project proposal opportunity and related supporting
information. This workshop will be convened by the European Space
Agency's Herschel Science Centre (HSC) at ESTEC, Noordwijk, The
Netherlands, 20 and 21 February 2007. The workshop is co-sponsored
by the HSC and the NHSC, and supported by the Herschel Instrument
Consortia. This will be the major event of its kind, though other
forums will be organized for the AAS meetings in 2007.
Further details can be found in the attached
PDF file and through the
HSC website:

The NHSC is encouraging meaningful participation by the US community,
and especially by those considering a Herschel Key Project proposal
for the Open Time. We have therefore set aside funds to support
travel by US-based scientists that wish to attend and participate.
A two-page letter requesting funding will be required. The request
should include at a minimum the purpose of attendance and an
abbreviated CV, including institutional affiliation and current
position. Please email a PDF file with your request to the NHSC at
herschel_kpworkshop@ipac.caltech.edu by Dec 15, 2006.
Available funds are finite, so the precise level of support will
depend on the number of attendees. We will strive to support as many
participants as possible, subject to requests reaching us by the
deadline above. We will strive to inform those selected for funding
by mid-January 2007 in order that travel planning can be made.
As stated in our previous eNewsletter, the NHSC will host an
Observation Planning Workshop in Pasadena to assist investigators in
use of Herschel Proposal Preparation Tools. The NHSC will have a booth
at the Seattle AAS meeting in January 2007, and we are planning a
splinter session in which the Herschel KP AO and other Herschel
related information will be discussed.
We will provide additional information via email and our webpages as
these events approach and plans are finalized.
All NHSC eNewletters and other information can be found on our
webpages at the link above.
