Rationale
We aim at preparing the opening of NenuFAR to future PI programmes, keeping in mind the complementarity with LOFAR 2.0 planned for early 2022. It will also be the time to review what happened during NenuFAR "Early Science" phase.
We also want to offer to users and potential users, the opportunity to get the last up-to-date information about the instrument, data processing methods and facilities illustrated by what has already been achieved in this early phase. Participants will get a chance of doing practical sessions around various projects and tools (Beamforming, pulsar, imaging, etc.) with NenuFAR data.
 
In the workshop, we will address :
- Presentation & updates on the instrument (technical presentations, and organization according to the Science Management Plan)
- Key Programme presentations (Observation, methodologies, early results)
- Hands-on on reduction tools, pipelines, computing/storage ressources
- Discussions/ Questions / Future plans

There is no "formal" shuttle between the train station to the Nançay radioastronomy station. However, we will try to organize carpooling (organizers & participants) between hotels/train station and the Nançay station.
 
If you have the opportunity to rent a car, it is the safest way to insure your autonomy.
