ALMA proposal preparation day 2016
11-12 April 2015 - Istituto di Radioastronomia Bologna, Italy
In preparation to the ALMA Cycle 4 proposal submission deadline of April 21rd, the Italian node of the European ARC is organizing an "ALMA proposal preparation day" to support the ALMA users to prepare their proposals.
This two-day meeting will be held at the INAF-Istituto di Radioastronomia on the 11-12th of April.
During this days meeting we will present short tutorials on the ALMA Observing Tool and on proposal preparation. Most of the time will be dedicated to the interaction of the participants with the ARC staff to get support in preparing their own proposals for ALMA Cycle 4.
Participants are invited to bring their own laptop to better participate to the interactive sessions and to directly work on proposal preparation. On request, few computers could be made available by the LOC.
Please notice that this activity is in addition to the usual "face-to-face" support that everybody can request at any time to the Italian ARC node via e-mail to help-desk@alma.inaf.it, or through the ALMA help-desk (register and access via the link "Helpdesk" on the ALMA Science Portal [1]) .
