Joint Research Activities

OPTICON H2020 Joint Research Activities

These technology joint research activities intend to explore innovative new fundamental technologies or techniques underpinning the efficient and joint use of European astronomical facilities. They may involve, large industries and SMEs to promote innovation and knowledge sharing through the development of new technical solutions to improve the services provided by these infrastructures. In general the objectives and consortia for these workpackages are already defined, but many are open to informal collaboration via our networking activities
