Japan JWST Cycle 1 Proposal Workshop

March 10, 2020, University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE

Due to the situation with the COVID-19 virus, we have changed from a 2-day workshop to a 1-day remote workshop on Tuesday, March 10th. Please see below for the latest agenda.

We strongly recommend potential participants to install the latest version of the APT and create an STScI account to access the web-based ETC in order to run through the exercises provided by STScI.

Workshop Folder Design. Although we were not able to distribute these to participants, we would like to share our workshop folder design made by Rieko Momose for a proposal reference.

Video Tutorials

There are some official JWST video tutorials available online to help you prepare for proposals. As the workshop cannot fully cover all features of the tools, we encourage you to take look at them too.
