Preliminary agenda of the Surveys for ALMA workshop

Session 1 - Survey programs before or during early-ALMA (pre 2012)

Discussion focus:

Are early ALMA observations needed for these programs?

Do we expect significant followup observations with early ALMA?

Are there specific requirements on ALMA capabilities?

Preliminary agenda of the APEX Large Projects meeting

The APEX telescope is operated by a consortium consisting of the MPIfR/MPG, ESO and Onsala, which receive 45%, 24% and 21% of the observing time, respectively, while 10% of the time is used by the host nation, Chile. Considering that there is a lot of interest in the community to execute large programs with APEX, the APEX Board thought it beneficial to have a short workshop for interested parties. This workshop will be held during the afternoon of 6 September, immediately after the "Surveys for ALMA" workshop. In the "APEX Large Projects" workshop, the telescope and the available instruments will be presented. All instruments of APEX can be used in Large Programs, but we anticipate particular interest in the two new bolometer cameras, LABOCA and APEX-SZ.

13:30 - 15:00	Presentations of the APEX instruments	TBD
15:00 - 15:30	Coffee break
15:30 - 17:30	Breakout sessions per subject
17:30 - 18:30	Open discussion
