ALMA Community Day Event at the University of British Columbia

NRAO Live! Event at the University of Wisconsin in Madison

 

Date: April 20, 2023
Time: 9am-5pm
Location: The University of British Columbia, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Hennings 318, Vancouver Campus, Hennings Building, 325-6224 Agricultural Road, Vancouver BC V6T 1Z1

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Proposal Workshop at The University of British Columbia. 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. We will have dedicated speakers who will discuss the different science use-cases available with ALMA. We will have speakers who have utilized ALMA for Fast Radio Bursts / Pulsars as well as Galactic science.
In the afternoon there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 10 deadline. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.

Registration is free, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before April 11 so that I have an accurate count for lunches.

I look forward to seeing you at UBC!
 
- Adam Dong (ALMA Ambassador)
All attendees are expected to abide by the NRAO Code of Conduct.
