The 2nd ChETEC-INFRA Observational School (ChINOS) 2025 will take place from 20 July (arrival) to 26 July (departure) at the Vila Lanna, the representative residence of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Science (ASU) is the hosting institution.
ChINOS has been developed within the European Starting Community ChETEC-INFRA and focuses on teaching astronomical spectroscopic observing techniques to young scientists (Master's students, PhD students and young postdocs) working in nuclear astrophysics. The school includes four half nights of remotely controlled observations at the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma, Spain. Observed spectra are analysed in small teams among the school participants.
The school is open to all young nuclear astrophysicists worldwide. You can apply for the school by filling in the registration page.
Currently we plan to accept 20 students who will be selected based on their motivation letter and letter(s) of recommendation. Students are expected to cover travel expenses, accommodation (210 € for 6 nights in a shared room) and a 60 € registration fee. Some scholarships are available for students in need.

The school is supported by the German Center of Astrophsics (DZA) and ChETEC-INFRA.
