The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), presently underconstruction, is a revolutionary astronomical interferometer, that will operateat (sub)millimeter wavelengths. With unprecedented sensitivity, resolution, andimaging capability, ALMA will explore the (sub-)mm Universe, one of astronomy'slast frontiers. ALMA is expected to provide insight in star- and galaxyformation in the early Universe and to image local star- and planet formationin great detail. The ALMA Commissioning and Science Verification phase iscurrently in course, preparing the path for Early Science. The Call for ALMAEarly Science proposals is expected to be released before the end of 2010. Inthis contribution we will describe the ALMA project, the array and itsreceivers, its science goals, and its scientific and technological potential.We will outline the organizational structure of the ALMA Regional Centres, thatwill play an important role in providing support to the users, with particularattention to the Italian ALMA Regional Centre in Bologna. Finally, we willillustrate what ALMA can contribute to the specific science case of AGNfueling.
