Aim

 Radio astronomy has continued to develop since Jansky detected radio waves from the galactic center. In recent years, radio astronomy using large radio interferometers such as ASKAP, MeerKAT, MWA, JVLA, uGMRT, ALMA, etc,  is thriving.

 The SKA aims to solve some of the biggest questions in the field of astronomy. The science key drivers for the SKA have been broken down in to key categories, each of which has its own working group to facilitate and manage the scientific goals. SKA-JP has decided three key-science for Japanene SKA community, and these are: cosmic magnetic fields, Epoch of Reionization, and pulsar.

 Construction of the SKA has begun, and it is anticipated that research with SKA will be conducted in the 2030s. Now is the time to prepare for SKA and the good opportunity to promote the future development of radio astronomy. In this workshop, we  will invite researchers, who have been using data from SKA Precursor and be active at the forefront of these field, to learn radio data analysis methods and know-how in a hands-on training for EoR and Pulsar/FRB.

   We welcome the participation of newcomers, especially undergraduates.
