Near-Earth-Object Impact Network for European Talent Development

Objective

NEONET addresses the underestimated threat posed by small Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), which, though less catastrophic than large impactors, strike more frequently and can cause serious regional damage. Despite their risks, NEOs over 140 meters remain difficult to detect and are still understudied. The issue extends beyond science, affecting public safety and sectors such as insurance and emergency response, and is recognized in EU and UN initiatives. In response, NEONET will train 12 highly skilled Doctoral Candidates (DCs) and deliver frontier science that goes well beyond the current state of the art - advancing our understanding of small NEO populations, their physical properties, impact threats, and environmental consequences. The project is especially timely, given the upcoming planetary data revolution, new space missions and large sky surveys, the emerging field of imminent impactors, and the rare 2029 Apophis flyby. NEONET unites leading experts from planetary science, defense, and industry to enable a full-chain approach from discovery to impact modeling, while equipping DCs with broad, transferable skills to enhance their careers both in and beyond academia.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
