How to reach the workshop venue (for in-person participants)

The workshop venue is located inside Campus Beauchef of the Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas at the Universidad de Chile in Santiago.

The closest metro station is Parque O’Higgins on Line 2. The entrance to the campus is at Beauchef 850 (marked as 1 on the maps below). At the entrance, you will find turnstiles. Your name will be on the list of authorized attendees for that day, so simply provide your name to the person at the entrance to be allowed in.

Once inside, walk straight through the first building (Edificio Escuela, marked as 2), and continue forward. Go down the stairs to reach the central garden. From there, head toward the Torre Justicia Espada (also known as Torre Central, marked as 3).

Enter the building and take the elevator to the 8th floor. Once you arrive, walk straight to the end of the hallway to reach the Sala del Consejo, where the workshop will take place.

Connect with NRAO

The NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory and NSF Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (U.S. NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
