The SKA PAthfinder Radio Continuum Surveys (SPARCS) are providing deep-field imaging of the faint (sub-mJy) extragalactic radio source populations through a series of reference surveys. One of the key science goals for SPARCS is to characterize the relative contribution of radio emission associated with active galactic nucleus (AGN) from star formation (SF) in these faint [...]

The call for proposals for the European VLBI Network (EVN) is open. EVN access and travel support is possible through the OPTICON RadioNet Pilot project (ORP). All regular proposals should be submitted through the Northstar submission tool. Submission deadline:  1 February 2023 at 16:00 UTC.

Regarding Cycle 9, ALMA has resumed performing PI science observations following the cyberattack. The end-to-end data acquisition and processing workflow and software were successfully re-tested prior to the restart. Regarding Cycle 10, due to the disruption caused by the cyberattack, the Cycle 10 pre-announcement will now be issued in the week of January 16, 2023. [...]

From July 3 to August 11, 2023, ESO will host in Garching/DE the forth Summer Research Programme. This fully-funded programme is an opportunity for university students interested in astronomy/astrophysics, who are not yet enrolled in a PhD programme, to obtain research experience alongside astronomers based at ESO Headquarters (HQ) in Garching. Applications from promising university [...]

The RADIOBLOCKS project will start on 1 March 2023. It is coordinated by JIVE ERIC and including major European research infrastructures for radio astronomy, together with partners from industry and academia, has been granted 10 M€ by the European Commission to develop “common building blocks” for technological solutions beyond state-of-the-art, that will enable a broad [...]

In this call, the Observatory of Yebes (IGN) invites astronomers around the world to submit scientific proposals for the first semester of 2023. This call is oriented to single dish observations and VLBI observations not included in the EVN or GMVA calls. Submission deadline: January 16, 2023, 16:00 UTC.

On December 1, 2022, the EC launched the largest public consultation ever held on the past, present and future of the EU’s Horizon research and innovation programmes 2014-2027. For 12 weeks, stakeholders are encouraged to reply to multiple-choice and open questions and are invited to submit position papers. Stakeholders will be able to share their views on [...]

ALMA ‘s recovery from the cyber-attack is well underway, but it has become clear that the most compact configurations (C-1 and C-2) will not be visited. Information regarding Scheduling Blocks that can only be observed in C-1 and C-2 configurations, will be posted on the Science Portal once the necessary ALMA operations tools and services [...]
