Proposal Templates

Proposals for PLATO's Announcements of Opportunity (AOs) have strict requirements regarding both content and format. Details are provided in the Policies and Procedures document released with each AO Call and made available on the relevant webpages. The templates for the AO-1 Call are provided here as a courtesy to proposers in both Word and LaTeX formats. If you use another editor, you must still ensure that all requirements are fully met.
