    1. Appel \u00e0 propositions d\u2019ateliers aux Journ\u00e9es SF2A 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Pour pr\u00e9parer la Semaine de l\u2019Astrophysique 2026, du 22 au 26 juin 2026 \u00e0 Grenoble, la SF2A lance un Appel \u00e0 Propositions aupr\u00e8s de la communaut\u00e9, des Programmes Nationaux (PN), des Actions Th\u00e9matiques (AT) et des Actions Sp\u00e9cifiques (AS), pour l\u2019organisation des ateliers. Les journ\u00e9es de la SF2A sont traditionnellement organis\u00e9es le matin en sessions pl\u00e9ni\u00e8res et l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi en ateliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Le conseil de la SF2A vous invite, en tant que PN\/AT\/AS\/GDR, chercheuse ou chercheur, \u00e0 jour de sa cotisation, \u00e0 proposer des ateliers via le formulaire en ligne :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    https:\/\/sf2a.eu\/limesurvey\/index.php\/151958?lang=fr<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Votre proposition devra comporter une description des objectifs scientifiques, la composition du SOC et, \u00e9ventuellement, une liste d\u2019oratrices ou orateurs possibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Les ateliers propos\u00e9s devront \u00eatre planifi\u00e9s sur une demi-journ\u00e9e (apr\u00e8s-midi) chacun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La date limite de r\u00e9ception des propositions est fix\u00e9e au 12 d\u00e9cembre 2025 \u00e0 13h00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Appel d\u2019offre \u00ab Actions de diffusion de la culture scientifique \u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    La SF2A finance tous les ans quelques actions de diffusion de la culture scientifique. Les actions propos\u00e9es peuvent prendre des formes diverses. Les crit\u00e8res suivants devront \u00eatre pris en compte dans les dossiers :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 le montant demand\u00e9 \u00e0 la SF2A doit \u00eatre sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 20% du budget total du projet (le saupoudrage de subventions n\u2019est pas souhaitable et la SF2A veut appara\u00eetre comme un moteur du projet). Une justification d\u00e9taill\u00e9e du budget demand\u00e9 \u00e0 la SF2A est n\u00e9cessaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 les projets de type r\u00e9current (i.e. demandant le soutien de la SF2A sur plusieurs ann\u00e9es, pour une m\u00eame action) ne seront pas consid\u00e9r\u00e9s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 une attention toute particuli\u00e8re sera port\u00e9e vers les id\u00e9es originales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La date limite pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cet appel d\u2019offre est le 12 d\u00e9cembre 2025 \u00e0 13h00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. 2026B: Early Science Observations on COLIBR\u00cd<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    COLIBR\u00cd is a research infrastructure developed in support of the SVOM mission, whose core component is a 1.3-meter robotic telescope capable of simultaneous observations from the visible to the near-infrared (https:\/\/www.colibri-obs.org\/<\/a>). It is operated from the Observatorio Astron\u00f3mico Nacional de San Pedro M\u00e1rtyr (OAN-SPM), located in San Pedro M\u00e1rtyr National Park, Baja California, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although the infrared camera has not yet been installed (its installation is expected by mid-2026), the visible instrument DDRAGO, equipped with its two detectors, is now fully operational. The COLIBR\u00cd Consortium continues to refine and optimize the system, which is still in an early phase \u2014 scientific operations began only at the start of 2025 \u2014 but the facility is already producing high-quality scientific data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the various partners, including INSU\/CNRS, about 22.5% of the observing time will be made available to the French and Mexican scientific communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Researchers interested in applying for early science observations are invited to consult the following page: https:\/\/www.colibri-obs.org\/early-science-observations-on-colibri\/<\/a> It provides details on the application process as well as the current operational status of the observatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Deadline to apply is November, 17th, 2025, noon (Paris – CET time)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dans le cadre du\u00a0Contrat d\u2019Objectifs, de Moyens et de Performances 2024<\/a>\u00a0entre le CNRS et l\u2019Etat (COMP), six d\u00e9fis transverses ont \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9s pour aider \u00e0 la structuration de communaut\u00e9 sur ces th\u00e9matiques. Parmi ceux-ci, le d\u00e9fi \u00ab Vie dans l\u2019Univers \u00bb a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place autour d\u2019un groupe de travail incluant des repr\u00e9sentants des Instituts du CNRS et de diff\u00e9rentes initiatives d\u00e9j\u00e0 en cours li\u00e9es \u00e0 ce th\u00e8me (direction du PEPR Origines, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Fran\u00e7aise d\u2019Exobiologie\u2026). L\u2019objectif assign\u00e9 par la pr\u00e9sidence du CNRS \u00e0 ce d\u00e9fi est de proposer des actions visant \u00e0 promouvoir cette th\u00e9matique de recherche, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle inter-instituts, sur les 5 ans \u00e0 venir. Dans ce d\u00e9fi, le groupe de travail a identifi\u00e9 des questions li\u00e9es \u00e0 la compr\u00e9hension de l\u2019origine de la vie et de son \u00e9volution, ainsi que l\u2019identification de potentielles formes de vie ailleurs que sur Terre \u00a0comme prioritaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dans ce contexte, le groupe de travail souhaite recenser les chercheuses et chercheurs \u00e9tant impliqu\u00e9s dans des recherches autour de ces questions, ou \u00e9tant int\u00e9ress\u00e9s par celles-ci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Si vous \u00eates int\u00e9ress\u00e9s, nous vous proposons de renseigner ce sondage rapide : sondage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Notre objectif est d\u2019avoir \u00e0 ce stade une vision la plus exhaustive possible de la communaut\u00e9 nationale s\u2019int\u00e9ressant \u00e0 ce th\u00e8me, et de pouvoir \u00e0 terme articuler notre travail avec les approches existantes pour aborder de nouvelles questions originales dans la communaut\u00e9 scientifique fran\u00e7aise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9. Astro-CC Project Training event (VO School), 2-4 DEcembre, 2025, Mardid (Spain) – extended deadline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Astro-CC Pilot project is organising its first international training event at the Centro de Astrobiolog\u00eda (Madrid, Spain) from Tuesday 2 to Thursday 4 December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Virtual Observatory (VO) is opening up new ways of exploiting the huge amount of data provided by the ever-growing number of ground-based and space facilities, as well as by computer simulations. The goal of the school is twofold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    – Expose participants to the variety of VO tools and services available today so that they can use them efficiently for their own research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    – Gather requirements and feedback from participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To achieve these goals, VO experts from different communities (astronomy, heliospheric physics, planetary science, and astro-particle physic) will lecture and tutor the participants on the usage of VO tools and services. Real life examples of scientific applications will be given. Three days will be dedicated to hands-on exercises, which will allow participants to become fully familiar with the VO capabilities on their own laptops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In order to ensure the right level of interaction, participation will be restricted to a limited number of participants (40 people). Preference will be given to PhD students and post-docs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please note that there will be no fee for the school. The organization will cover the main travel costs (within Europe) and accommodation expenses for the accepted participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For further information and application, please visit: https:\/\/indico.in2p3.fr\/event\/36738\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Important dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    – Deadline for registration application and submission of participants use cases: extended to 14 October 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    – Notification of acceptance to the participants: late October 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n
