Dear All,
This is a reminder about OAE's open call of opportunity for organising Teacher Training Programme for school teachers. You can find the details here: https://astro4edu.org/news/AW608XG/
Please remember the deadline is 1st May 2023. All proposals will be reviewed by international referees and successful proposals will be funded by OAE or its centers. In particular, OAE Center India is committed to fund at least a few proposals each year, if they clear the peer review.
One should note that each proposal should be ideally co-authored by three persons. One practicing school teacher, one professional astronomer and one National Astronomy Education Coordinator (NAEC). In Indian context, the NAEC group is expanded to include Regional Astronomy Education Coordinators. For your reference, they are as follows:
NAEC-India Team
Aniket Sule, HBCSE-TIFR
Sarita Vig, IIST
Kuntal Misra, ARIES
OAE india Manager (presently Surhud More, IUCAA)
POEC Chair (presently Dibyendu Nandi, IISER-K)
Regional Astronomy Education Coordinators (RAEC) - North
Harvinder Kaur Jassal, IISER-M
Virendra Yadav, ARIES
Hum Chand, Central University of Himachal Pradesh
Regional Astronomy Education Coordinators (RAEC) - East
Ajit Mohan Srivastava, IOP (retd)
Suchetana Chatterjee, Presidency University
Rupajyoti Gogoi, Tezpur University
Regional Astronomy Education Coordinators (RAEC) - South

Priya Shah-Hasan, MANUU
R. Ramanujam, IMSc (retd)
Regional Astronomy Education Coordinators (RAEC) - West
Manoneeta Chakraborty, IIT-Indore
Samir Dhurde, IUCAA
Vishal Joshi, PRL
You can consult any one* of these and request them to be co-authors for your proposal.
*barring A. Sule and S. More who also represent OAE center India, which would be funding the successful proposals.
We hope to see a fair number of TTP proposals from India.
With Regards,
Aniket Sule
