The school was supposed to take place in 2020 at the Sophia Antipolis technopole (France) but was delayed by almost a year due to the covid-19 crisis and became a school with 100% online lectures and tutorials.

The school is aimed at PhD students, post-doc and researchers who want to know more about the breakthrough technique of optical/IR long baseline interferometry. This year, there will be a special focus on the new mid-infrared VLTI instrument MATISSE and its application to the field of planetology and the environment of young stars. There will be courses and practice sessions on fundamentals of long-baseline interferometry, the VLTI and other facilities, the theory and modelling of circumstellar disks, and more.

The school is supported by Europe (OPTICON), JMMC, the Lagrange astrophysics lab in Nice, the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, and the CNRS through its Action Spécifique ASHRA.
