The project aims at establishing a pipeline for the generation of galaxy mock catalogs using machine learning techniques. Such catalogs are key for the statistical analysis of forthcoming galaxy redshift surveys, some in which the IC is participating.

Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamic evolution of the Universe. The information that comes to us from early epochs of the Universe comes from galaxies dominated by the presence of massive stars. Therefore, understanding the evolution mechanisms of massive stars is fundamental to understanding the Universe. These mechanisms

Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe. Not only for millions of years do they continously deliver radiative and mechanical energy to their surroundings together with newly formed elements. They also explode as different kinds of Supernovae when they reach their final moment, injecting comparable

The IAC has defined as a strategic objective for the coming years to have the infrastructure, equipment and human group that allows the manufacture of mirrors up to 2 meters of diameter for astronomical use. These capabilities are only available to very few organizations in the world and will significantly increase the role of the IAC in frontier

Solar Physics research will experience a big step forward in the next years. This progress will be founded on the contribution from recent and upcoming infrastructures, including the European Solar Telescope (EST), whose construction is planned for the next few years. EST will provide an unprecedented sampling of the photosphere and chromosphere to

MICAL consists of two main tasks: 1. Development of Instrumentation Prototypes for the European Solar Telescope, with two specific actions: a) Demonstrator of the adaptive optics system of EST. This action consists in the acquisition of a set of elements that will form a complete optical wavefront correction system that simulates a system
