The next Call for Proposals for observing time with ALMA (Cycle 12) is anticipated to be issued on 20 March 2025. The deadline for proposals is expected to be on 25 April 2025, with observations starting in October 2025. New capabilities in Cycle 12 will include full polarization in Band 1 on the 7-m Array, a lower flux density threshold in VLBI and EHT multi-epoch monitoring in March-May. The German ARC node cordially invites its community to gather at the

The meeting is designed in form of a science fair with several stands offering interactive displays, hands-on tutorials and individual support, as well as the latest information on ALMA operations and support. A quick round of presentations at the start of the meeting will provide an overview of all that is being offered during the event. Among others, we plan to prepare information and tutorials on the following topics:
  • Introduction to ALMA and the German ARC node
  • Hands-on advice on proposing with the ALMA-OT
  • What is new and important in Cycle 12
  • LEGO-ALMA 2.0 - an intuitive introduction to radio interferometry
