Coimbra AHEAD2020 Progress Meeting on Space Experiments for HE Astrophysics & Multi-messenger Astronomy

1 Oct 2020, 13:00 → 2 Oct 2020, 16:30 Europe/Lisbon

LIP, Physics Department, University of Coimbra

Rui Curado Silva (LIP), Lorraine Hanlon (UCD), Vincent Tatischeff (Université Paris-Saclay - CNRS/IN2P3)

The Coimbra AHEAD2020 Project Progress Meeting on 'Space Experiments for HE Astrophysics & Multi-messenger Astronomy' will be held on October 1-2, 2020, remotely by Zoom platform and hosted by the Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas, University of Coimbra, Portugal. It will provide a forum for AHEAD2020 and external researchers to share their latest research results, technical information and achievements to date. In particular, this progress meeting will cover COMCUBE's sub-work package progress and future steps, as well as progress on the other tasks being carried out on 'Space Experiments for HE Astrophysics & Multi-messenger Astronomy' and related activities, by a series of oral remote presentations, digital platform document sharing and thematic discussion panels.
