Each session will consist of short overview talks to share the latest updates about PRIMA and its planned instrumentation. We will also introduce the PRIMA Exposure Time Calculator (ETC), which can be used to verify the feasibility of proposed observations for planning future science observations. PRIMA science team members will then be on hand to answer your questions and to help connect you with scientists who can assist you with general support and editing of science cases after the workshop. For questions about the workshop, please reach out to Elisabeth Mills.

To register for the workshop, please fill out the registration form and indicate which session you plan to attend. Connection information will be shared with registrants in advance of the workshop. We will also record the first hour of each session and post the recordings here.
