Meeting Objective: New-generation multiwavelength (radio/IR/optical/gamma-rays) facilities that will be available in the next decade are expected to advance our understanding of a wide variety of celestial objects (from galactic compact stars, exo-solar planets, large-scale structures, up to the most distant galaxies in the Universe). With the availability of 3D multi-object spectroscopy, photometry, and imaging using radio/IR/optical/Gamma-ray telescopes (such as MSE, LSST, TMT, HCT, Euclid, 4MOST, WEAVE, SKA, uGMRT, CTA, ASTROSAT) with their large field of view, high sensitivity, plus spatial/spectral resolution, and complementary multi-wavelength data, the scientific outputs will be maximized in the domain of multi-wavelength astrophysics and cosmology in the next decade.

This is the 3rd IFCAM meeting being organized on SKA and multi-wavelength synergies with the earlier ones listed here-

1- Galactic and Extragalactic Universe in the era of new generation radio/IR/optical facilities, 22nd-26th March 2021 (virtual meeting)-  https://skamse2020.sciencesconf.org/

2- 'From reionization to large-scale structure - a multiwavelength approach, 11th-17th Feb 2018, 3rd Franco-Indian Astronomy School  (Physical meeting)- https://ifcpar2017-cgl.sciencesconf.org/

 

The proposed Franco-Indian workshop is very timely to bring observers, theoreticians, and instrumentation scientists together to address the forefront science goals for the next decade, design multiwavelength synergy projects, and strengthen collaboration, where both France, India, and their European partners are deeply involved at the fundamental technological and scientific levels.

The event is supported by the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR/CEFIPRA), a bilateral organization set up by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Government of India, and the Ministry for Europe & Foreign Affairs, Government of France to enhance international collaborative research in the field of Science &Technology.

Note:

This workshop supports gender balance and inclusivity in astronomy and will hold a session on the support activities being carried out by the International Astronomical Union, National Astronomical societies, and funding agencies to support women's careers in Astronomy and STEM fields.

International Astronomical community members are invited to register for the focused sessions on IAU Women in Astronomy seminar series on EDI in Astronomy and Training program at - https://sites.google.com/view/iau-women-in-astronomy/home/upcoming-events-and-seminars/seminar-series-training-program-5?authuser=2

The workshop will be organized in a hybrid mode with physical participation limited to 70 participants.  Ph.D., postdocs, and early career researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.  Ph.D. students are expected to request their thesis supervisor to submit a recommendation letter at  ifcam20@gmail.com in support of their application.
