Online lectures and tutorials on EVN Data Reduction
This page is regularly updated with tutorials and instructions given at large schools and workshops that you can use to learn how to calibrate and analyze your EVN data:
- ERIS 2022 lectures and tutorials using CASA (scroll down to L10/T8)
- DARA tutorials for EVN continuum
- SARAO E-learning portal
Generic information on using CASA for VLBI and other calibrations can be found in the 2023 CASA VLBI workshop.

EVN Online Training Day
JIVE is organizing the third online training session designed to support first-time users of the European VLBI Network (EVN). During the session, we guide you through the key steps of planning, preparing proposals, and scheduling observations. The training requires no prior experience in radio astronomy techniques, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), or using the EVN. Participation is free; however, registration is mandatory to attend.

JIVE VLBI School 2025
The JIVE VLBI School (JVS 2025) is an exciting opportunity for professionals and students interested in the field of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). The JVS 2025 is designed to provide comprehensive training in data processing and imaging techniques specific to VLBI observations with the European VLBI Network (EVN). The school will be held simultaneously at the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) in Dwingeloo (the Netherlands), and the University of Pretoria (South Africa), with the latter serving as an auxiliary venue with limited participation. An online participation will also be possible, with the availability of following the lectures, and resolve the doubts with the experts via chat. However, we note that the hands-on sessions will be mainly in person. Note that there will be a limited number of seats available at both locations.

ERIS 2024 School
The tenth edition of the European Radio Interferometry School (ERIS2024) will be held in Granada, Spain, from Monday September 30th to Friday October 4th, 2024. ERIS aims to provide a complete overview of radio interferometry covering fundamentals, data processing, and analysis techniques, along with practical hands-on sessions.
5 – 9 June 2023
CASA VLBI Workshop 2023
The aim of this workshop is to train participants on data processing and imaging of VLBI observations with the CASA package. Though the focus will be on continuum astronomical experiments, other applications of VLBI will be discussed. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of radio interferometry, but do not need to be experts. Introductory lectures on VLBI and CASA will be part of the programme.
