Abstract

Since 2015, AHEAD (Integrated Activities in the High Energy Astrophysics Domain) has provided a reference framework to bring together Europe's science community. AHEAD is part of the EU Horizon 2020 programme for Research Infrastructures. Its main goal is to integrate the national efforts and keep the European community at the cutting edge of science and technology. AHEAD is offering funding opportunities, also open to participants outside Europe, for transnational visits, workshops and dissemination activities. The landmark for AHEAD is the future large observatory Athena. Significant effort is devoted to improve its design beyond the baseline and improve the related infrastructures. AHEAD is also active in the exploitation of current space missions, providing access to data archives and advanced tools and delivering new products and services. Finally, it supports technology innovation for the benefits of society and new design studies towards the definition of a future gamma-ray mission.
