The Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series kicks off on
Tuesday, Nov 04 at 1pm EST
The Roman Science Centers at STScI and IPAC are excited to launch the Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series —a new, hands-on set of webinars designed to prepare the community for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
With Roman’s launch targeted for Fall 2026 and the first Call for Proposals coming in Fall 2025, now is the time to get ready. This Roman Training Series will help you build the knowledge and skills needed to make the most of Roman’s Core Community Surveys (CCS) and General Astrophysics Surveys (GAS) with the Wide Field Instrument (WFI).
Roman is community-driven, survey-focused, and fully open access. Much of the science will come from teams analyzing Roman’s rich archive. This Roman Training Series will give you practical experience with the tools, data, and workflows you’ll need for proposal preparation, data access, calibration, and analysis.
Please join us for our first webinar on Tuesday, November 04 at 1pm EST/10am PST on “Tools for Exploring Roman’s Core Community Surveys.” This webinar will provide an introduction to the Training Series and a tour of the various Roman tools, documentation, and data sets available for users to better understand the science potential of Roman’s three CCSs: the High-Latitude Time Domain Survey (HLTDS), the Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey (GBTDS), and the Hight-Latitude Wide-Area Survey (HLWAS).
What to Expect in the Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series
- 1-hour sessions exploring tools and resources to help you prepare to use Roman’s data
- Live, hands-on demos of Roman tools or simulated datasets
- Ample time for Q&A with Roman staff
- A welcoming space for all, with students especially encouraged to join
