Description: | LOFAR called and they all came: approx. 40 participants from the LOFAR community gathered at ASTRON for the "LOFAR Data Processing School". The aim of this school was to introduce new members of the collaboration, who will be involved in the commissioning effort, to LOFAR. Students, postdocs, and staff were all encouraged to apply. The school covered the many aspects of the LOFAR system from the operation of the basic station hardware to the software pipelines and science products they produce. Lectures and tutorials were be presented by members of the LOFAR project team as well as staff from the many institutions involved in the collaboration. Hands-on sessions were be provided to give attendees an opportunity to gain experience with real LOFAR data.
