Understanding the role of National Data Centres in the CTBT verification regime;
Building and/or improving the National Data Centre capabilities;
Providing participants with sufficient knowledge for accessing and using IMS data and IDC products; and
Initiation to software tools for the analysis of IMS radionuclide data.
The objectives of the training are to provide station operators with knowledge and technical understanding on the operations, maintenance and management of a manual radionuclide station and, more specifically, to provide hands-on training for the various operational and maintenance procedures. Upon completion of the course the trainees will be able to efficiently perform essential tasks including station operation, reporting, configuration management, software configuration, incident troubleshooting and resolution, detector calibration, preventive and corrective maintenance of station equipment.
To provide hands-on training and practical lessons to Station Operators on the operation and maintenance of the RASA system.
Invited States Signatories should nominate participant(s) who are Station Operators of IMS radionuclide stations using RASA system directly concerned with the operation, maintenance, and repair of such equipment.

The objective of this technical meeting is to continue the process of completing the IDC Validation and Acceptance Test Plan (VATP). The focus for this particular meeting will be to:Discuss the latest draft of the VATP Rev.6.0. Address comments received on the VATP. Discuss the 2026 Experiment and the associated VTs
To provide IMS station operators with the required knowledge and technical understanding of SPALAX NG noble gas monitoring systems in order to perform operations and maintenance tasks.
The objectives are:
The primary objectives for the workshop are to:
The objectives are: • to strengthen the knowledge of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and the work of the Preparatory Commission; • to further build-up the capacity of the CTBT State Signatories to participate in the implementation of the verification regime and assess how participants are making use of IMS data and IDC products; • to encourage National Data Centres within the region to undertake a joint exercise for the analysis of waveform and radionuclide data and compare their results; • to promote the exchange of experience and expertise among the NDCs.
To equip station operators with the knowledge and technical expertise required for the operation, maintenance, and management of an IMS infrasound station utilizing the Nanometrics Centaur digitizer. Upon completing the course, trainees will be capable of efficiently performing essential tasks related to station operations, reporting, and configuration management. They will also gain the skills to conduct proper State of Health (SOH) and data monitoring, as well as execute systematic equipment and software configuration and maintenance. Specifically, trainees will be able to:
Identifying data quality issues and strategies for corrective actions.
