ALMA Community Day Event at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

NRAO Live! Event at the University of Wisconsin in Madison

 

Date: April 19 & 20, 2023
Time: 12:00pm-5:00pm (April 19); 9:00am-2:30pm (April 20)
Location: Room 533, Lederle Graduate Research Tower, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Proposal Workshop at The University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research. The two-day (virtual and in-person) 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. We will also discuss synergies between ALMA and the TolTEC instrument on LMT. Additionally, there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 10 deadline. Catered lunch will be provided both days to participants who sign up by April 5th. Attendance for all sessions is not required, but recommended.

Registration is free, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before April 5 so that I have an accurate count for lunches.

I look forward to seeing you at UMass Amherst!
 
- Sinclaire Manning (ALMA Ambassador)
All attendees are expected to abide by the NRAO Code of Conduct.
