The Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy and the South African Astronomical Observatory would like to invite you to a workshop about multi-wavelength astronomy, current and future data challenges, and how cloud computing technology can help to address them.

The aim of the workshop is to introduce the South African multi-wavelength astronomical community to the Ilifu cloud computing facility and identify current and future needs within the community that could be met by the Ilifu operational model.
