Description

The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) is the largest optical telescope in the Southern Hemisphere, offering world-class capabilities for cutting-edge astronomical research. This workshop is designed for both emerging and established astronomers who want to increase their understanding of SALT’s proposal tools and gain hands-on experience using them effectively.

We will begin with a short presentation introducing the suite of SALT proposal tools, followed by a live demonstration showcasing their key features and practical applications. Participants will then move into an interactive, guided session where they will develop and submit a mock proposal using a dedicated test server.

Whether you’re preparing your first SALT proposal or looking to sharpen your technique, this workshop will equip you with practical skills and insights to strengthen your future submissions.
