Astronet : TOWARDS A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR EUROPEAN ASTRONOMY

This covers the overall coordination of the WP, including the co-ordination required to bring together the separate strands of the scientific vision developed in WP2 into a Roadmap for implementation.

Contacts: Michael Bode , Maria Cruz

Task 3.1: Produce a plan for the development of European Astronomy over the next 10-20 years “the Roadmap’’ (Task leader: STFC)

It will establish advisory panels to consider the diverse infrastructure necessary to deliver the Science Vision. The panels will develop a complementary view focusing on the specifications of telescopes, missions and the infrastructure and assessing technology readiness.

Task 3.2: Identify means to implement the Roadmap (Task leader: CNRS/INSU)

The aim is to co-ordinate ASTRONET participants to produce implementation plans for all facets of the Roadmap. To achieve that, the task leader will interact with agency representatives and with the team that developed the Roadmap.
