ALMA is exploring key upgrades to enhance its sensitivity, resolution, and imaging capabilities, focusing on transformative advancements that will unlock its full scientific potential. As part of an ongoing ESO ALMA development study aimed at advancing ALMA’s capabilities, the community workshop "Unlocking ALMA’s Potential with Focal Plane Arrays" will take place on September 2 - 4, 2025, at MPIfR, Bonn.

This event will explore the scientific drivers and technological innovations behind focal plane arrays (FPAs) - a breakthrough that could significantly expand ALMA’s field of view and mapping speed. This conference welcomes experts from all fields of astrophysics who are interested in shaping the scientific priorities for the next phase of ALMA, driven by the transformative capabilities enabled by the development of focal plane arrays (FPAs).
