All CALENDers have gathered early december in a nice hotel near Montpellier
for the general kick-off meeting. This was organised as a joint kick-off
between the CALENDS team, the MUSICOS team (another ERC-funded project dedicated
to diffuse gas emission from MUSE), and the FOGHAR team (an ANR-funded
collaborative project between Lyon and Toulouse institutes for the analysis
of MUSE data). Indeed, all three projects started within the last year, and we
decided to coordinate the efforts related to the analysis of MUSE data,
in particular the deep fields.

It was overall very productive and interesting to learn about each other’s
projects, in particular with students and postdocs coming from a different
academic background (software engineering, astrophysics, signal processing).
We all came back with many new ideas and plan for the future of CALENDS.
We also enjoyed sharing the ‘CALENDS car’ for the trip, and the company of
the giant cat which soon became the mascot of the meeting.
