Past NHSC Workshops

NHSC hosted a series of in-person workshops with talks, hands-on exercises, and general discussions on the contents and capabilities of the Herschel Archive, and to provide information and training on how to best use it. All workshops were held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasdadena, California. The following table links to the agenda for each event and the presentations (when available).

For a complete list of all Herschel workshops and conferences, see the ESA site.

Past NHSC Webinars

In addition to the in-person workshops, NHSC also hosted a series of online webinars that targeted specific topics. Since the webinars were conducted online and generally covered time-critical topics, we will not attempt to provide a complete archive of the source material, much of which is no longer relevant to archival users. Instead we provide, for completeness, a list of the webinars and the topics that they covered, and include PDFs of a small subset of the material that might be of lasting importance.
