ALMA Community Day Event at the University of Wisconsin–Madison

NRAO Live! Event at the University of Wisconsin in Madison

 

Date: March 27, 2024
Time: 9am-4pm Central Time (attendance for the full day is not required)
Location: Room B343, Sterling Hall, University of Wisconsin-Madison, or over Zoom (link will be shared with registered participants the week of the event)

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an ALMA Proposal Workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio / millimeter data in their research. The one-day (virtual and in-person) workshop will provide an overview of ALMA including new capabilities for Cycle 11, a brief discussion of millimeter interferometry, and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In addition, there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 11 deadline (April 25th).

Registration for the workshop is free for all participants, and lunch will be provided for in-person participants. Please sign up by March 20th in order to provide an accurate count for lunches and so I can tailor the workshop content to suit your needs.

I look forward to seeing you at UW-Madison!

- Stephen McKay (ALMA Ambassador)

All attendees are expected to abide by the NRAO Code of Conduct.
