If you use Gaia data, or intend to, this workshop could be invaluable for you. cheers Andy ? Dear colleague, >From September 13 to 15 2022 the first GaiaUnlimited community workshop will take place in Heidelberg, Germany. The GaiaUnlimited project (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/lcebCXLW2mUnOEJzZi6ke3o?domain=gaia-unlimited.org) aims at determining the Gaia survey selection function and providing corresponding data and tools. The workshop's theme is the Gaia selection function and how to use it. This event will be a three-day workshop and unconference, where we will discuss and learn from each other about the finer details of the Gaia selection function and how to build and use it in various contexts. Participants will be working with the new GaiaUnlimited selection function tools, for which we will assist as needed, and we will improve them based on the feedback we'll receive. We hope this workshop could lead to some new collaborations or initial joint studies. We want to dedicate a significant amount of time to unconference sessions and informal discussions. You can sign up for the workshop here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/HUz6CYW8Noc3AV84XFGc8GN?domain=gaia-unlimited.github.io There will be space for about 40 participants. Registration is open until July 1. After selection based on the registration form, we will send out the invitations to attend the workshop on July 15.

ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries at various sites in Chile, and its headquarters in Garching, Germany. Australia has a 10 year Strategic Partnership enabling it to access ESO telescopes at La Silla Paranal Observatory, including the world-leading 8 metre Very Large Telescope. Australians may also apply for positions with ESO across all its operations on the same basis as member states. Working at ESO gives Australians exposure to sophisticated scientific and engineering skills and helps build formal and informal networks with European astronomers, engineers and colleagues in other big science organisations.
