GTTP Call for Proposals 2011

We are very glad to announce the second round of GTTP calls for proposals. With the support of the Las Cumbres Global Observatory Telescopes Network (LCOGT) we will support up to 8 (or more – see full text) GTTP Workshops.

Proposals should also be in alignment with the IYA2009 goals and more specifically the GTTP goals.

Deadline for submition: August 31st 2011
