Development of an astrophysics centre in Crete

Ziel

Astrophysicists in Crete, among the most active in Greece, cover with their research nearly the entire electromagnetic spectrum - from infrared and optical, to UV, X-rays and -rays. What is needed then is Transfer of Knowledge in order to fully exploit the existing and new instrumentation of the telescope and utilize it in projects relevant to the current major problems in astrophysical research. In particular, to the scope of this project is to actively participate in multi-wavelength studies in Astrophysics (space-born and ground) since it is mainly through such studies that major breakthroughs are made. This will be accomplished by inviting more experienced researchers, who will assist the host institution to become expert in using efficiently the available instruments, in identifying modern astrophysical projects to be tackled with the available facilities, and in establishing long-term collaborations with leading European institutes.

With the existing infrastructure and developed local expertise, the aim of this project is to establish Crete as a centre of attraction for young European researchers, especially from countries with less developed astronomical infrastructure, lacking the background necessary to use other major research facilities. They will be thoroughly trained in modern astronomical observations, thus acquiring - in a cost effective manner - all practical knowledge to efficiently use larger European facilities in the future.
