Installation and testing of the ALMA Band 2 receivers, covering 67 to 116 GHz, is currently underway. In anticipation of Band 2 being offered in the near future, the ALMA Band 2 workshop brings together astronomers and ALMA/ARC staff to discuss the new potential for various scientific fields. We plan to have a dedicated session focused on looking at the Band 2 Science Verification data.
The workshop will be held in person on 24 – 26 February 2026, Bologna, Italy.
For more information, registration and abstract submission (abstract deadline October 31), please visit the workshop’s website.
