Subject: Symp S15 at EWASS 2017: SCIENTIFIC SYNERGIES ENABLED
BY THE SKA, CTA AND ATHENA

Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce that SKA/CTA/ATHENA symposium that will be held
during the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS) 2017 in
Prague. There will be a session (1.5h) devoted to CTA synergies with radio
instruments and in particular with SKA (Block 3) for contributed talks. 

Registration is already open. The very early registration finishes in a
couple of days (10 Feb) please visit the following page if you wish to
contribute to the symposium:

A power cut will shut down all EAS services on Tuesday, 10 January 2017
starting at 7:30 CET.

 Looking forward to welcoming you in Prague!

With best regards,

The organising committee

Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the two-day Symposium on :

** SCIENTIFIC SYNERGIES ENABLED BY THE SKA, CTA AND ATHENA **

that will be held on 26-27 June 2017, in the context of the European
Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS) 2017. For more info see:

European Week of Astronomy and Space Science 2016

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA - operating in the radio band), the
Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA - operating in the GeV-TeV band) and
Athena (operating in the X-ray band) are three observatories now at
the study, detailed design and/or pre-construction phase. The talks in
this Symposium will focus on outstanding but still unanswered
scientific questions where the fully-fledged multi-wavelength and
multi-messenger astronomy enabled by SKA, CTA and Athena will lead to
a big step forward in our knowledge.

Each of the six sessions reported below will be devoted to report on
the potentialities of one of the three facilities in combination with
the results provided by other major instruments.

* Block 1: The hot and energetic Universe
  [Athena synergies with Optical/IR and sub/mm facilities]

* Block 2: New visions of the energetic and relativistic Cosmos 
  [SKA synergies with  X-ray/Gamma-ray missions]

* Block 3: The extremes of the  electromagnetic Universe 
  [CTA synergies with SKA]

* Block 4: Breakthrough radio astronomy: exploring the unknown 
  [SKA synergies with other Radio/mm facilities]

* Block 5: Transformational pictures of the Universe 
  [SKA synergies with IR/Optical facilities]

* Block 6: A fully deployed multi-messenger astronomy 
  [SKA synergies with GWs, particles,  neutrinos detectors]

Please forward this email to any colleague that may be interested.
We also invite you to submit abstracts: the registration is now open
