AtLAST (Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope) is a groundbreaking initiative to develop a 50-meter submillimeter and millimeter-wave telescope on the Chajnantor Plateau in Chile. As part of the ESO “Expanding Horizon” framework, this project is poised to deliver transformational science while pioneering sustainability through renewable energy and environmental considerations.
We are organizing an AtLAST event in Paris on May 12-14 (with hybrid participation available). The ultimate goal is to discuss the role of France in supporting and contributing to this project, including instrumental or software developments and the exploration of its scientific potential. The AtLAST team will present the current status of the project within the European context. Critical questions about environmental and societal aspects, ensuring that AtLAST aligns with these contemporary challenges will also be addressed.
We are looking forward to your participation (on-site or on-line) and contribution to this event. Registration is now open on the website. Deadline: April 14th.
