Abstract

The first Meeting for ALMA Young Astronomers (MAYA) organised by the European ALMA Regional Centre (ARC) network (Hatziminaoglou et al. 2015) took place online from 2 to 4 March 2022. It was a successful and inspiring event, well attended, with 40–80 participants at any one time. After two years of limited opportunities for socialising because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was aimed at gathering together early-career scientists, primarily graduate students and junior postdocs, and giving them the chance to present their work based on ALMA data to their peers, to interact with each other, and to build new collaborations and projects.
