---+ 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://help.almascience.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 
 
   * 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)

   * [[EUARCCASATutorialFeb2013][EU ARC ALMA Data Reduction Tutorial for Cycle 1 PIs, ESO, 21/22 Feb 2013]]
   * [[EUARCCASATutorialJan2012][EU ARC ALMA Data Reduction Tutorial for Cycle 0 PIs, ESO, 19/20 Jan 2012]]
