AHEAD2020 Announcement of Opportunity Cycle 7, deadline 16 February 2024

The AHEAD2020 (Integrated Activities for High Energy Astrophysics*) calls for a program of transnational visits and remote access activities to be performed starting ~ April to October 2024. The main objectives are: 1) fostering new or strengthening existing collaborations on science and technology topics  in high energy astrophysics; 2) providing access free of cost to selected European astronomical institutes and data centres for support in high energy and multimessenger data analysis, and in computational astrophysics; 3) providing access free of cost to some of the best European ground test and calibration facilities relevant for high-energy astrophysics.  Visitor grants include full reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses. The possibility of remote access for a number of services in the area of data analysis, tools and computational astrophysics will be also provided.
