1. Prix Kavli 2026 attribué à Rodrigo Ibata
—————————————————————————————-
Le prix Kavli 2026 a été attribué à Rodrigo Ibata de l’Observatoire de Strasbourg, conjointement avec Vasily Belokurov et Amina Helmi, pour la mise en évidence de signatures fossiles de fusions passées ayant démontré que la Voie lactée s’est construite par accrétion hiérarchique.

L’ATCG adresse toutes ses félicitations à Rodrigo Ibata pour cette distinction prestigieuse, qui récompense ses contributions majeures à notre compréhension de l’histoire de la Voie lactée et de la formation et de l’évolution des galaxies en général.

2. AAP 2027 Action Spécifique Numérique
—————————————————————————————-
The ‘Action Spécifique Numérique’ (ASNum) proposes to provide financial support for several types of initiatives related to computational astrophysics in 2027:
– organizing symposia and workshops on digital methods and data analysis
– organizing working meetings for the development of community codes and the use of computing infrastructures
– organizing training sessions on the use of computing infrastructures, scientific libraries, and community codes
– participating in meetings and conferences related to scientific computing, including both HPC and HPDA
The ASNum Scientific Committee asks project leaders to estimate their project’s carbon footprint (travel, lodging, purchases, etc.) using the INSU’s GESAAP tool. As with other INSU calls for proposals (CSAA, National Programs), the environmental footprint will be added this year to the criteria typically considered. However, the environmental impact of using computational infrastructures is not taken into account in GESAAP since it is not funded by this call for proposals; we therefore encourage applicants to indicate any measures implemented to reduce this impact.
The Scientific Committee will pay particular attention to interdisciplinary initiatives that bring together specialists from scientific fields related to numerical methods (computer science, signal processing, applied mathematics, etc.) and astrophysicists.
Applications must be submitted no later than September 25, 2026, to demandeasn@services.cnrs.frwith the unit director in cc.
The call for proposals, the application form, and the carbon footprint calculator can be found here: https://cloud.oca.eu/index.php/s/dGSmpJmMQq5ia28
