AHEAD2020 Announcement of Opportunity Cycle 3

Submission Deadline: 28 February 2023, 17:00 CET.

Following the participation of the IST research center C2TN – Center for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies – in the AHEAD 2020 project (Integrated Activities for High-Energy Astrophysics)(*), we hereby announce the programme of transnational visits and remote access activities to start in mid April 2022.

The main objectives are:
1) Fostering new or strengthening existing collaborations on science and technology topics  in high energy astrophysics (visitor program);
2) Provide access free of cost to selected European astronomical institutes and data centres for support in high energy and multimessenger data analysis, as long as computational astrophysics.;
3) Providing access free of cost to some of the best European ground test and calibration facilities relevant for high-energy astrophysics.

Visitor grants include full reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses. To face possible restrictions to travel as effect of the pandemic, the possibility of remote access for a number of services in the area of data analysis, tools and computational astrophysics will be provided.
