---+ EU ARC CASA Support

---++ General

There are several CASA support channels:

   * The [[http://casa.nrao.edu/using.shtml][CASA home page, Using CASA]] (for all CASA users)

   * The [[https://help.nrao.edu/][NRAO helpdesk]] (for all CASA users)

   * The [[https://alma-help.eso.org/][ALMA helpdesk]] (for CASA users wishing to analyse ALMA data)

In addition, the EU ARC and its nodes are offering CASA tutorials and face-to-face support.

---++ Upcoming CASA Tutorials 

   * The next CASA tutorial for PIs at ESO, Garching, will be held on 21/22 February 2013 at ESO. [[EUARCCASATutorialFeb2013][See the homepage of the tutorial here.]] Deadline for registration (Cycle 1 PIs only) is on 20 Dec.

   * For tutorials at the  [[http://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/alma/arc/nodes.html][EU ARC Nodes]], please consult their local web pages.

---++ Past CASA Tutorials (since the start of Cycle 0)

   * [[EUARCCASATutorialJan2012][EU ARC ALMA Data Reduction Tutorial for Cycle 0 PIs, ESO, 19/20 Jan 2012]]
