Call for proposals for the advancements of the scientific and technical infrastructure of HALO

Dear HALO community,

HALO completed the first eight years of operation with outstanding scientific results. Still, advancements of the capabilities of HALO are urgently required, in order to further develop the possibilities to perform world-class scientific investigations with HALO.

Therefore, the HALO consortium will initiate an approach to inquire additional, extensive funding to realize improvements of the scientific and technical infrastructure of HALO (e.g. combined certification of PMS-Carriers and BellyPod, Large Wing Pods, Liquid Cooling System). To prepare this initiative, you are kindly invited to submit proposals in the form of short abstracts. The projects should aim to serve a broader user community of HALO, thus being important for several instruments and/or various members of the HALO community. Furthermore, the budget of the projects should be above the expenses which can be conveniently covered by the annual budget for scientific advancements of HALO.

Please submit your abstract (100 – 300 words) summarizing your ideas to Jörg Schmidt until 28 February 2019. In May/June 2019 the HALO WLA (Scientific Steering Committee) will organize a workshop in Leipzig to discuss the submitted proposals. Based on the outcome of this workshop, the WLA of HALO will pursue the funding of advancements. In case of questions regarding this approach, please do not hesitate to contact
