Description
The large infrastructure projects for the next decade will allow a new quantum leap in terms of new possible science. ESFRI, the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures, a strategic instrument to develop the scientific integration of Europe, has identified four facilities (SKA, CTA, KM3Net and E-ELT) to support. ASTERICS (Astronomy ESFRI & Research Infrastructure Cluster) aims to address the cross-cutting synergies and common challenges shared by the various Astronomy ESFRI facilities and other world-class facilities. The project (22 partners across Europe) was funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme with 15 MEuro in 4 years. It brings together for the first time, the astronomy, astrophysics and particle astrophysics communities, in addition to other related research infrastructures.
