IRAM has established an ALMA user support center, which forms a node of the European ALMA Regional Center (ARC). The ARC nodes are providing support to the community in the preparation of ALMA observations and in data processing and analysis.

The ARC node is a new service provided by IRAM, open to all interested scientists with special emphasis on the German, French, and Spanish communities. More about the IRAM ARC node.

The 8th IRAM millimeter interferometry school will be held October 15-19th 2012 in Grenoble. Visit the school web site for more details.

Science verification projects have been released: data are public!

The ALMA Cycle 0 observations have started on Sept. 30th 2011 and will extend up to the end of December 2012. More information on the ALMA Cycle 0 pages.
