The call aims to support research visits to European institutes that provide direct training and expert guidance in multi-messenger astronomy. The program covers all ACME domains, including gravitational waves, neutrinos, cosmic rays, and photons across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from very-high-energy gamma rays to X-rays, UV, optical, near-infrared, and radio bands. The goal is to [...]
Dear colleagues, We are pleased to share the second announcement of the XI European Radio Interferometry School (ERIS 2026), which will take place 7-11 September 2026 in Noto, Sicily (Italy). LECTURES ERIS 2026 will offer a full week of lectures and practical hands-on sessions designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to radio interferometry. The program [...]
The 13th IRAM Millimeter Interferometry School will be held September 28 – October 3, 2026 at the Hotel Mercure Centre Porte des Alpes in Grenoble/France. It is intended for PhD students, post-docs and scientists who want to acquire knowledge of interferometry and data reduction techniques at millimeter wavelengths. Special emphasis will be put on the [...]
The European VLBI Network organizes a series of talks focusing on the capabilities of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and its significant contributions to different astronomical fields. These seminars cover various science topics with different speakers and provide an insightful introduction to cutting-edge research designed for the wider astronomical community. Next Seminar Thursday 12 March [...]
The Registration and Abstract Submission is now OPEN for the 17th European VLBI Network Symposium and Users' Meeting to be held at The University of Manchester, United Kingdom, from the 14th to 18th September 2026. The EVN Symposium is the main forum for discussion of the latest Very Long Baseline Interferometry scientific results and technical and technological developments within the EVN member countries. The purpose [...]
Using the NIKA2 camera on IRAM’s 30-meter telescope, astronomers have achieved a new sensitivity record, uncovering a massive structure of dust-rich, intensely star-forming galaxies in the early Universe - just one billion years after the Big Bang. The NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey (N2CLS) revealed galaxies forming stars up to 1000 times faster than the Milky [...]
An international team led by Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy used ALMA observations to reveal how massive elliptical galaxies may form extremely rapidly in the early Universe. Studying the protocluster SPT2349‑56, just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, they observed dozens of gas-rich galaxies merging in a cosmic “firework,” with four central galaxies [...]
The international LOFAR collaboration has released the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS‑DR3), an exceptionally detailed radio map of the sky revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources. This survey provides the most complete census yet of actively growing supermassive black holes and traces energetic phenomena such as jets from black holes, star formation in galaxies, and cosmic [...]
Representatives from European radio astronomy observatories and national administrations met at the Paris Observatory to discuss the growing impact of unintended electromagnetic radiation (UEMR) from Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations on astronomical observations. Participants from Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden, together with experts from the Committee on Radio Astronomy Frequencies (CRAF) and the [...]
The last AtLAST Newsletter, February 2026 edition, has been published. The 12th newsletter of the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) project. With the EU-funded design study now completed, we are undergoing a second phase funded by a new EU infrastructure grant (AtLAST2) that aims at consolidating the plans for the new observatory.
