Join ESO during lunch on Monday, June 29, at the EAS Annual Meeting in Lausanne for an interactive session dedicated to helping you fully exploit the scientific potential of the ESO Science Archive and data processing tools. Following an introductory overview of recent developments, the session will focus on hands-on exploration and discussion, with ESO staff available to work directly with participants on their specific scientific needs. Whether you are searching for archival observations, revisiting existing datasets, or preparing new analysis workflows, this session will help you identify and efficiently use both raw and science-ready ESO data products.

A central highlight will be the presentation of EDPS (ESO Data Processing System) -a new graphical and interactive environment designed to modernize user data reduction and bring ESO data processing into the ELT era. Participants will also discover the growing ecosystem of ESO Jupyter Notebooks, developed to enable powerful and reproducible browsing of the Science Archive.

Bring your laptop, your questions, and your science cases: ample time will be dedicated to practical interaction, live demonstrations, and direct support from ESO experts.

This session is ideal for researchers interested in accelerating archive-based science, improving data-processing workflows, and preparing for the next generation of ESO data products.
