SUMMARY:ALMA user support in Europe
DESCRIPTION:ALMA user support in Europe\nDr. Evanthia Hatziminaoglou\n\nALM
 A is a submillimetre/millimetre telescope located at 5000m in the Atacama 
 desert in Chile designed to observe at 0.32–9.5 mm (31–950 GHz
 ), and it is expected to be the leading observatory in these wavelengths f
 or many decades to come. ALMA has performed scientific observations since 
 September 2011, with new capabilities being offered for each new observing
  cycle. The interface between ALMA and the astronomical community is provi
 ded by the ALMA Regional Centres (ARCs). The European ARC is located at ES
 O, Garching. In Europe, the services to the community are provided by a di
 stributed network of ARC nodes. The European ARC network is an internation
 al, geographically dispersed structure, and consists of the central ARC at
  ESO, seven ARC nodes and one Centre of Expertise, distributed across Euro
 pe. It is an organised effort to provide the European ALMA user community 
 with uniform expert support from the stage of proposal preparation through
  to data reduction, in order to enable the optimal usage and increase the 
 scientific output of ALMA. The model for the European ARC nodes network wi
 ll be described in terms of its organisation, communication strategies and
  user support. ALMA capabilities and recent ALMA results will also be summ
 arised. Depending on the interest of the participants, the talk can be fol
 lowed by a small demo of the ALMA Observing Tool (OT) for the creation and
  submission of ALMA proposals, as well as the ALMA Snooping Project Interf
 ace (SnooPI), that allows PIs and Co-Is to follow their projects throughou
 t their life-cycle.
