The COSPAR Capacity Building Workshops: growing and expanding
Abstract
The COSPAR Capacity Building Workshops Program, inaugurated with a first workshop in X-ray astronomy in 2001 in Brazil, has not only grown considerably over the last 11 years, but has also broadened its scope, and now includes very diverse areas of space science. We will review the history of the workshops and the associated fellowship program, discuss the experience gained and elaborate the future of this initiative, which aims to effectively increase space research in developing countries.
