ACME provides transnational access on the basis of scientific merit to a wide range of complementary astroparticle, high-energy and astronomical Research Infrastructures. This will open new opportunities for the science community in the detection, analysis and subsequent follow up of multi-messenger and high-energy time-domain astrophysical events.
The list below reports all the Research Infrastructures offering such transnational access (identified with the tag “TNA”), as well as other telescopes and detectors taking part in other ACME actions.
Radio
e-MERLIN
Effelsberg
The 100-m Radio Telescope of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) is a unique European astronomical facility that combines superb sensitivity and wide frequency coverage (300 MHz to 90 GHz) with distinct versatility. The high surface accuracy of the...
EVN
The European VLBI Network (EVN) is an interferometric array of twelve radio telescopes spread throughout Europe, but also including eight telescopes in Asia and South Africa. With baselines ranging from 260-10k km, it provides sub-milliarcsecond imaging and...
IRAM
NOEMA and the IRAM 30-meter telescopes are the world's most sensitive (sub-)mm astronomical facilities operating in the northern hemisphere. The 30m-telescope and NOEMA cover a broad range of science topics from the study of solar system comets to VLBI observations of...
LOFAR
The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is the world’s largest and most sensitive low-frequency radio telescope. It is a network of 52 geographically distributed antenna stations that stretches across Europe. With its versatility and its unique spectral coverage (10 - 250...
NenuFar
Located on the site of the Nançay Radio Observatory (200 km south of Paris) in France, NenuFAR is a very large low-frequency radio telescope, which is among the most powerful in the world in its frequency range between 10 MHz and 85 MHz. This range corresponds to the...

Neutrinos & Cosmic rays
KM3NeT
The Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope or KM3NeT is a research infrastructure located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, mainly aiming for the detection of neutrinos. It employs the detection of Cherenkov light to identify and reconstruct the direction of...
Pierre Auger Observatory
The Observatory and its recent upgrade, AugerPrime, is the largest, most complete and precise detector of giant air showers of energy exceeding 100 PeV. It is a multi-hybrid Observatory consisting of a large array of 1600 detector stations 1500 m apart, in Mendoza...
Gamma Rays
Gravitational waves
Virgo
Virgo is a laser interferometer with two perpendicular, 3km-long arms: its purpose is detecting gravitational waves from astrophysical sources It is hosted at the European Gravitational Observatory, in the countryside near Pisa, in Italy. Inside Virgo, the light beam...
