First call opened for transnational access to KM3NeT data

8 April 2026 – The first call for proposals for science projects based on KM3NeT data proposed by external users is open!

The call and ACME – This call is opened in the framework of ACME. The ACME project enables transnational access (TA) on the basis of scientific merit to a wide range of complementary astroparticle, high-energy and astronomical Research Infrastructures to perform new science of multi-messenger astrophysics.

For more information on ACME see the ACME portal.

How to prepare a proposal – This call is open to all external users, with no restriction. External scientists may act as Principal Investigators (PI) or co-Investigators (coI) on the proposals, provided they agree to a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the KM3NeT collaboration. The proposals will be evaluated in a blind procedure by a Program Committee, comprising members from both KM3NeT and the Pierre Auger Collaborations. The proposals will have to be presented in two documents: a proposal description and a team description.
