AHEAD2020: AO Cycle 1

The AHEAD2020 (Integrated Activities for High Energy Astrophysics) calls for a program of transnational visits and remote access activities to be performed starting April 2021. The main objectives are:

• Foster new or strengthening existing collaborations on science and technology topics in high energy astrophysics (visitor program).
• Provide training and/or mentoring on high energy data analysis, use of advanced tools, computational astrophysics and multi-messenger astronomy.
• Provide free access 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 the 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.

The submission deadline is on the 22nd of February except for activities concerning access to experimental facilities for which proposals are accepted anytime until August 2023.
