该课堂由国家天文台GTC科学工作组开设，旨在培训中国天文学者使用大望远镜开展科学观测研究的能力。将将邀请国内外在各个领域有一定研究成就的天体物理学家，讲授前沿科学并开展深入研讨，以对未来中国的GTC科学研究和观测策略进行先期规划。

　　The GTC Academy is designed and operated by the GTC Science Working Group at NAOC, and aims to enable the Chinese community to carry out astronomical research using large telescopes.  We will invite domestic and international astrophysicists with outstanding achievements to give lectures on forefront research topics and participate in discussion.  These lectures and in-depth discussion will help to form China’s GTC science and observational strategy at an early stage.
