Objective
Objectives:
OPTICON, the ICN OPTICAL INFRARED COORDINATION NETWORK FOR ASTRONOMY, brings tog ether for the first time the operators of all Europe's medium to large optical-infrared telescopes, the largest corresponding data archives, and several user representatives. The OPTICON partners work with their communities to identify those major challenges for the future development of European optical-infrared astronomy, which require Europe-wide collaboration. OPTICON sponsors and coordinates developments towards these goals, involving the entire astronomical community through workshops and meetings targeted towards these agreed common goals of general importance
Results:
Six major aspects of European astronomical research in which there are clear benefits from international cooperation, and where inadequate cooperation currently exists, have been identified.
Activity 1: EU Elite Fellowship Program
Activity 2: The Astrophysical Virtual Observatory
Activity 3: Improved Coordination on Common Infrastructures
Activity 4: The Future of Medium-sized Observatories in the enlarged EU
Activity 5: The Science Case for Extremely Large Telescopes
Activity 6: Joint Activities with the radio astronomy ICN (JIVE).
Working Groups, with full representation across the whole EU astronomy community, have been established to implement these common objectives, with substantial progress being made.
