SUMMARY:Academic Spanish Course for Foreigners (2025)
DESCRIPTION:The Academic Spanish course for foreigners is designed to facilitate effective communication in academic and profesional contexts. Through a practical and personalized focus\, the participants will develop essential linguistic abilities to discuss scientific articles\, participate in conferences\, give presentations\, and collaborate in international projects. The program includes technical vocabulary\, beginner and advanced grammar\, and simulations of real-life situations. Moreover\, it will promote the cultural immersion to strengthen the comprehension of the Hispanic world\, and their impact on interdisciplinary investigation and collaboration. \nThis course will be taught throughout in the following blocks: \nJanuary 21st – February 27thApril 22nd – May 29thSeptember 23rd – October 30thThe course is taught by Prof. Nazira Ruíz

SUMMARY:Extending Multi‑Wavelength Science to the Frontiers of the Electromagnetic Spectrum: Low‑Frequency Radio Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Etienne Bonnassieux (SO postdoc\, IAA-CSIC) IAA-CSIC\, Salón de Actos 17 Sept 2025\, 10-13h \nRadio astronomy is in the midst of a renaissance. Facilities such as LOFAR\, the uGMRT and MeerKAT —pathfinders for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)— are revealing the low‑frequency (MHz / metre wavelength regime) sky with unprecedented fidelity. Their discoveries arrive just as other game‑changing observatories (e.g. the ELT and CTAO) come online\, creating a uniquely rich multi‑wavelength landscape.This workshop opens with a concise primer on radio astronomy before focusing on the science unlocked at tens to hundreds of MHz: from solar eruptive events and pulsar searches to the physics of jets\, extragalactic star formation\, galaxy clusters and the Cosmic Dawn. We outline the capabilities of current low‑frequency arrays such as LOFAR\, uGMRT\, MWA\, NenuFAR and other SKA precursors\, and summarise the data products most useful to the broader community\, including ready‑to‑use survey catalogues and transient alerts.Practical guidance follows: how to access archives and virtual‑observatory services\, integrate radio data with optical/infrared or gamma‑ray programs. We close with a look ahead to LOFAR 2.0\, SKA‑Low and next‑generation facilities that will extend sensitivity and bandwidth\, alongside emerging partnerships that link radio\, optical and other observatories. \nDesigned for researchers who wish to add a «radio lens» to their tool‑kit\, the session balances scientific motivation with practical advice and concludes with an open discussion for deeper dives. Attendees will leave equipped to exploit the low‑frequency frontier and contribute to the next wave of transformative\, multi‑wavelength science. \nObjectives\nBy attending this workshop\, participants will: \n\nGain a clear overview of low-frequency radio astronomy (<1 GHz) and its role in multi-wavelength research.\nLearn about current and upcoming instruments (LOFAR\, uGMRT\, MWA\, NenuFAR\, SKA-Low) and their capabilities.\nDiscover ready-to-use data products\, catalogs\, and survey resources for science at tens–hundreds of MHz.\nUnderstand observing modes (interferometric\, beamformed) and performance trade-offs.\nGet practical guidance on data access\, virtual observatory tools\, and integration with other wavelengths.\nExplore future opportunities with LOFAR 2.0\, SKA-Low\, and next-generation facilities.\nNetwork with colleagues and join an open discussion to shape future collaborations.\n\nAgenda\nDuration: 3 hours \nPart 1: Main Lecture (1.5 h)\n\nIntroductory overview: radio astronomy in context of the electromagnetic spectrum\nKey science cases: Solar/heliospheric physics\, Galactic sources\, jets\, galaxy clusters\, Cosmic Dawn\nObservational techniques and performance metrics\nSurvey landscape: LoTSS\, GLEAM\, MGCLS\, CHIME/FRB\, and more\nAccess to data archives\, VO services\, and ready-to-use catalogs\nFuture prospects: LOFAR 2.0\, SKA-Low\, partnerships\n\nCoffee Break (30 min)\nPart 2: Open Discussion (1 h)\n\nPractical questions on integrating radio data into multi-wavelength projects\nOpportunities for collaborative science and proposals\nTools\, training\, and community support\nParticipant-driven Q&A and topic deep-dives\n\n

SUMMARY:Programación Controladores Beckhof
DESCRIPTION:Los Controladores Lógicos Programables (PLCs) de la empresa Beckhoff son muy usados en la actualidad en muchos campos de la ingeniería industrial. Entre ellos\, en el área de la instrumentación para astronomía\, ya que el Observatorio Europeo Austral (ESO) los adoptó hace años como estándar para los sistemas de control de la instrumentación desarrollada para sus telescopios. Sus componentes principales son los PLCs basados en PCs\, también conocidos como soft-PLCs\, pero Beckhoff cuenta con un amplio catálogo de productos\, tales como paneles de control táctil\, tarjetas de entradas/salidas digitales y analógicas o fuentes de alimentación\, que permiten desarrollar sistemas de control de subsistemas o instrumentos completos a partir de un diseño modular. \nA día de hoy\, tres de los proyectos de instrumentación en curso en los que la UDIT participa (MOSAIC\, TARSIS\, PACOO) están basados en controladores Beckhoff\, lo que implica la necesidad de formación del personal encargado de su programación\, configuración y desarrollo. En años anteriores ya se celebró un curso de iniciación a la programación en entorno Beckhoff (2019) y otro más específico para el control de motores (2021). El curso que se propone ahora está enfocado en otros aspectos más especializados en el desarrollo de este tipo de sistemas\, tales como el uso de módulos de la familia TwinSafe\, que se centran en la redundancia y seguridad\, o la programación de dispositivos táctiles para la visualización y el control.»
