ALMA Community Day Event at the Australian National University

NRAO Live! Event at the University of Wisconsin in Madison


Date: March 26, 2018
Time: 11am - 3pm
Location: CSO Common room

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Proposal Workshop at the Australian National University.This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research. The one-day workshop will provide an overview of ALMA including new capabilities, a brief discussion of mm interferometry, and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In the afternoon there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 6 deadline. Lunch will be provided.

Registration is free, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before March 19th, so that I have an accurate count for lunches.

I look forward to seeing you at the Australian National University!
