The education of early career researchers in astronomy is growing in importance, as new and complex instruments are being commissioned to pioneer new hot topics in astrophysical research. Young researchers usually do not have the opportunities to gain hands-on experience with instrumentation and the telescope time application process in their early careers. To help provide such opportunities, ERASMUS+ and OPTICON joined forces and organised two summer schools in one event held at Stara Lesna in Slovakia between 17 and 27 July in 2019. Here, we describe the school and results of student group work which offered a high quality scientific output obtained in a short time.
