DESCRIPTION:ARGOS2023 - 24-27 October 2023 (Hybrid Workshop) Astronomy is
  being transformed by public surveys performed with instruments that are
  searching the sky for multi-messenger signals with high speed and sensit
 ivity\, while delivering science-ready datasets to the community. While ra
 dio astronomy is not yet fully participating in this revolution\, an instr
 ument following the same philosophy\, which would finally open the dynamic
  radio sky for exploration\, is not only urgent but inevitable.ARGOS is a 
 concept for a leading-edge\, low-cost\, sustainable European astronomical 
 facility that will finally realise this ambition\, directly addressing mul
 tiple fundamental scientific questions\, from the nature of dark matter an
 d dark energy to the origin of fast radio bursts and the properties of ext
 reme gravity\, thereby satisfying urgent needs of the community. The proj
 ect has recently entered a three-year detailed conceptual design phase whi
 ch is supported by a Horizon Europe Infrastructure Development Grant. The 
 overarching objective for the ARGOS conceptual design study  is to prepar
 e fully for the subsequent rapid implementation of a leading-edge wide-fie
 ld interferometer in Europe and ensure its optimal integration into the ne
 twork of existing and future international astronomical facilities.  Mee
 ting Goals The workshop aims to bring together experts and stakeholders f
 rom various fields of astronomy to discuss the scientific potential and ch
 allenges of a future European wide-field radio interferometer. The worksh
 op will cover topics such as:Recent advances and emerging themes in radio 
 astronomy and transient astrophysicsThe science priorities for ARGOSThe te
 chnical requirements and design options for the instrument: (configuration
 \, data processing\, calibration etc)The synergies and complementarities o
 f ARGOS with other existing and planned radio facilities such as LOFAR\, S
 KA\, DSA2000\, MeerKAT\, ASKAP\, FAST\, Chime\, etc.The roadmap and timeli
 ne for the development and implementation of ARGOS The workshop will feat
 ure invited and contributed talks\, posters\, and panel discussions. Submi
 ssions that contribute to the development of the ARGOS Science Requirement
 s will be compiled in a proceedings volume (the ARGOS blue book) after pee
 r review.  Format This will be a hybrid meeting. The ground event locat
 ion is the Foundation for Research and Technology\, Hellas in Crete\, Gree
