Astrophysics Centre for Multimessenger studies in Europe (ACME) - project kick-off meeting

16 sept. 2024, 14:00 → 17 sept. 2024, 13:30 Europe/Paris

Amphithéâtre Buffon, Université Paris Cité

Antoine Kouchner (Laboratoire APC), Julie Epas (CNRS/APC)

ACME (the Astrophysics Centre for Multi-messenger studies in Europe) is set up to realize an ambitious coordinated European-wide optimization of the accessibility and cohesion between multiple leading RI, offering access to instruments, data and expertise, focused on the new science of multi-messenger astrophysics. ACME will forge a basis for strengthened long-term collaboration between these RI irrespective of location. Collaboration and user training will be specifically aimed at levelling up access opportunities across Europe and beyond.

ACME objectives are:
- implement the European roadmaps’ recommendations and act as a pathfinder to broaden, improve and align access to the
respective RI services and data, and assess and evaluate new models for better coordination and provision of at-scale services
- provide harmonized and inclusive trans-national and virtual access to world-class RI
- develop centres of expertise providing expert support to enable easier access for more researchers
- improve science data products management to facilitate both focused research goals and serendipitous discoveries, implementing
FAIR approaches to broaden access
- improve interoperable systems for rapid identification of astrophysical candidate events, and alert distribution to the network of RI
and scientific consortia to optimize follow-up observations
- provide training for a new and broader generation of scientists and engineers
- open the astrophysics and astroparticle physics data sets to other disciplines, such as environmental studies or marine biology for
the undersea neutrino facilities and increase citizen engagement in scientific research
