Goal
The main goal of the AHEAD Transnational Visitor Programme (ATVP) is to foster the collaboration among European scientists and engineers involved in High Energy Astrophysics. This goal will be achieved through the sponsorship of short research visits (from 1 week up to 4 weeks) within European research institutions to carry on a specific research project and strengthen or establish future collaborations. Special emphasis will be given to research stays which involve: a) the future ESA’s X-‐ray telescope ATHENA science and/or technology, b) synergies with other energy ranges and multimessenger projects.
To allow for maximum flexibility, there will be seven calls, twice a year.
