To foster the infrastructure for a vibrant and collaborative MMA ecosystem, NSF's NOIRLab, in partnership with NSF and NASA, invites the international community to participate in a workshop in Tucson, AZ during October 16 – 18, 2023. The workshop goals are to identify pathways that increase the coordination of observational MMA campaigns and reduce operational redundancy across the network of ground- and space-based observatories. We invite the community to review the current state of resources for MMA, report on existing collaborations and partnerships, and identify potential obstacles to success. We ask the workshop participants to conceptualize community strategies and methods of tackling data sharing, such as telescope pointings, both planned and executed, observation outcomes, and calibrated data. Furthermore, we ask the workshop participants to identify pathways which will incentivize coordination, collaboration, partnership, and collegiality within the MMA community.
Key Questions to Address:
Workshop participants will lead the preparation of a community-driven white paper that will be used to guide NSF, NASA, and NOIRLab planning around fostering the infrastructure for a collaborative MMA ecosystem.
