Description

Since 2015, AHEAD (Integrated Activities in the High Energy Astrophysics Domain) is providing a framework to bring together Europe's science community working in this highly competitive field. AHEAD is an ongoing project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme for Research Infrastructures, with the main goal of integrating efforts by the European science community and keeping them at the cutting edge of science and technology.
The landmark for AHEAD is the future Large X-ray Observatory, Athena. Besides its substantial technology development program, AHEAD is offering funding opportunities for transnational visits, workshops and dissemination activities and a strong public outreach program. Much effort is also devoted to the exploitation of current space missions with the organization of meetings, schools and training activities and enhancing gamma-ray science.
