Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique

IRAM is a partnership of CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), France, the MPG (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft), Germany and the IGN (Instituto Geográfico National), Spain. These partners provided the major part of the specific investments for NOEMA. A part of the specific funding of CNRS was received through the French ANR (Agence National de Recherche) EQUIPEX program. Additional project funding was provided by external partnerships with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, the Purple Mountain Observatory Nanjing and the Nanjing University, China as well as the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. The development of the VLBI phasing system for the EHT was also supported by the ERC Synergy Grant BlackHoleCam.
