24-27	Herschel Data Processing for Newcomers, Villanueva de la Canada, Spain  Successfully launched together with Planck on 14 May 2009, Herschel recently reached the end of its operational lifetime on 29 April 2013, after the exhaustion of its supply of liquid helium coolant, completing almost 4 years of pioneering observations of the cool universe. Indeed, Herschel has made over 35,000 scientific observations, amassing more than 25,000 hours' worth of science data from about 600 observing programs, most of which is already publicly available from the Herschel Science Archive. Although Herschel observing is now finished, the data collected by this wonderful mission will enable a vast amount of exciting science to be done for many years to come. We expect that it will provide even more discoveries that have been made during the lifetime of the Herschel mission. Our task is now to make the treasure trove of Herschel data as valuable as possible. This workshop, organized by the Herschel Science Centre, in collaboration with the Instrument Control Centres and the NASA Herschel Science Centre, is targeted at an audience of novice users interested in accessing and interpreting Herschel data for the first time, with little or no previous experience in the analysis of Herschel observations using HIPE (Herschel Interactive Processing Environment). We invite preferentially Ph.D. students and young post-docs who have recently started working on projects based on the analysis of Herschel observations, but we also accept more advanced users who may want to get a deeper knowledge of certain aspects of the interactive processing of Herschel data with which they may not be sufficiently familiar. The workshop, which can be attended online or in person, will consist of a mixture of tutorials in the format of presentations that will be broadcast live to online participants, and hands-on sessions customized for those participants attending the workshop in person.

Not only are these host stars suitable for planetary confirmation and follow-up studies, but they are ideal for asteroseismology studies whose impact has been proven from the CoRoT and Kepler missions. Thus PLATO 2.0 will produce catalogues of accurate parameters of terrestrial planets and planetary systems. It will be the first large-scale survey determining the ages of its detected planetary systems from their host stars. PLATO 2.0 data will be vital to test and develop planetary formation and evolution models and to address planetary science questions via its large numbers of accurate bulk planet parameters in systems of all kinds. As a result of the many hundred thousands of stars observed, PLATO 2.0 has furthermore a large complementary and legacy science program, from stellar to galactic science.
