Integrating high resolution solar physics SOLARNET Grant Agreement 824135

In force date
Description

This project aims at integrating the major European infrastructures in 
the field of high-resolution solar physics. The following actions will 
be taken:      
(i) realise transnational access to all European users      
(ii) integrate small communities and foster European collaboration      
(iii) enhance and spread data acquisition and processing expertise to the Europe-wide      
community      
(iv) increase the impact of high-resolution data by offering science-
ready data and facilitating their retrieval and usage      
(v) encourage combination of space and ground-based data by 
providing unified access to pertinent data repositories      
(vi) foster synergies between observational and theoretical research 
communities by organising meetings where each presents state-of-
the-art methodologies      
(vii) train a new generation through student schools, a mobility 
program, and grant program to attend conferences      
(viii) develop innovative post-focus instrumentation      
(ix) develop and build next generation devices to correct for 
atmospheric turbulence      
(x) lay foundations for combined use of synoptic and high-resolution 
facilities on ground and in space      
(xi) dissemination activities towards society.      
The project involves all pertinent European research institutions, 
infrastructures, and data repositories. Together, these represent first-
class facilities. The additional participation by private companies and 
non-European research institutions maximizes the impact on the      
world-wide scale. In particular, the project achievements will be of 
principal importance in defining the exploitation of the future 4-meter 
European Solar Telescope.
