Subject: International Masters Course in Radio Astronomy and Space  Science

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to you in order to announce a new International Masters Programme
				in
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN RADIO ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE

to be given at Chalmers University by the staff of the new

Centre for Astrophysics and Space Science based on ONSALA SPACE OBSERVATORY,

and to ask your help in recruiting students to the Programme which begins 
in the autumn, 2002.

The course is described on our web site

The programme (one full year of study followed by a six month project) aims 
to familiarise students with the basics of Microwave and millimetre-wave 
systems, Correlation techniques and interferometers and Information- and 
image processing techniques plus aspects of the scientific themes studied 
in our group: Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics, Remote Sensing, Space 
Geodesy, Environmental Measurements from Space.

There is no fee in the Swedish university system and it is possible (but 
competitive) to get financial assistance towards living costs from the 
Swedish Institute and an organisation called STINT (see the links to 
General Info on the course web site).

If you think this course could be of interest to students from your 
associated university, I would be grateful if you could make them, and 
their tutors aware of it.

My best wishes for 2002,

Roy Booth
