Personnel Exchange
Activity N2 Discipline working groups
Establishment of discipline working groups in
the different science areas of planetary sciences
with the aim to cover all major fields of
planetary sciences.
Activity N4 Developing an outreach
strategy Developing a pan-European outreach plan
that will help to associate the European Citizens
to the Planetary Exploration program activities
in Europe (incl. space agencies, research
institutes, Universities and science museums).
Activity N5 Personnel exchange Supporting key
exchanges of personnel between research groups
with the aim to establish a long-term working
relation between the groups.
Activity N7 Design and development of the
IDIS Creation of an Integrated and Distributed
Information Service (IDIS) and its further
evolution into a European Virtual Planetary
Observatory.
Activity N3 Coordinated space/earth-based
observations Developing synergies between in-situ
exploration of the planetary systems and
telescope observations from the ground or Earth
orbit.
Activity N6 Meetings, conferences Organisation

FP7 project Motivation
? EUROPLANET in modern space missions context
7
FP7 project Motivation
? EUROPLANET -- Two main scientific objectives

• 1. Science activities in support of the
  optimal use of data from
• past and present space missions (using
  IDIS and involving the
• broad planetary science community)
• 2. Science activities for the preparation of
  future planetary missions
• Earth-based preparatory observations,
  laboratory studies, RTD on
• advanced instrumentation and exploration
  technologies, theory
• and modelling

? Integrated Research Infrastructure (RI) project
-- the form for continuation of
EUROPLANET in FP7 ( as EUROPLANET RI )
8
FP7 project Motivation
? Main available RIs in EUROPLANET
? Space Missions ? Earth-based Observatories and
their instruments ? Laboratory facilities open
to the community ? Data Bases ? Numerical
codes computing facilities for cooperative and
coordinated use by a community ? IDIS -- the
common portal and scientific server for access to
and use of planetary science resources (data
bases, infos, communication)
-- Improvement and development of these tools and
services, -- stimulation and dissemination of
their use

FP7 project Motivation
? EUROPLANET-RI project goals in FP7

• Central aim to overcome the current
  fragmentation of the EU
• planetary science
  community.
• two ways
• 1. Achievement of a long-term integration of the
  European planetary
• science community with the purpose of
  enhancing the quality and
• productivity of the European planetary
  science (was started with
• Europlanet in FP6 as Coordination Action)
  
• 2. Maximizing synergies between different
  contributing fields, (space-
• and earth- based observations,
  laboratory studies, data base
• development, theoretical and numerical
  modelling) by creation of a
• major distributed European
  infrastructure for planetary science to
• be shared, fed and expanded by scientists.

development of research infrastructures
in support of present and future planetary

FP7 project Main Facts
? EUROPLANET proposal in FP7
? Project type Integrating Activity under
the FP7 Specific Programme
"Capacities", in its Part 1 Research
Infrastructures. ? Project Funding Scheme
Combination of Collaborative Project and

Coordination and Support Action (CP-CSA).
(allows maintaining under the same grant
agreement of Research,
Coordination and Support activities) ?
Requested funds 8,000,000 Euro ? Number of
participants 27 institutes (leaders of project
tasks) ? Project structure Combination, in a
closely co-ordinated manner, of (i)
Joint research activities (JRA) -- 4 JRAs (1,
2, 3, JRA-IDIS) (ii) Trans-national access
/ service activities (TNA / SA) -- 3 TNAs, 1 SA
(iiI) Networking activities (NA) -- 4 NAs,

FP7 project Main Facts
? EUROPLANET proposal in FP7
? 3 TNA activities will provide a wide community
of users the opportunity to exploit the
unique range of laboratory and field site
facilities selected for the project. ?
SA IDIS (Integrated and Distributed Information
Service) will provide a user-friendly
web-based access to the available planetary
science data, information and software
tools. ? 4 JRAs will broaden the scope and
range of the EUROPLANET RI by opening
access to new field sites, developing innovative
tools, upgrading and improving laboratory
facilities and widening the opportunity of
remote data access by upgrading IDIS into
Planetary Virtual Observatory. ? 4 NAs will
publicize the aims, objectives and opportunities
of the research infrastructure and
disseminate project results amongst the
scientific community, industries, SMEs,
space agencies and the public.

FP7 project Main Facts
? EUROPLANET added values
? EUROPLANET will provide the European
planetary science community with a unique
RI and services, combining access to a suite of
state of the art research facilities
while fostering their joint development
and integration in terms of capacity and
performance. ? EUROPLANET will play a vital
role, enhancing the European Union as a
leading player in future planetary and space
exploration and structuring the European
Research Area in this field. ? EUROPLANET
research infrastructure will include access to
laboratory and field site facilities,
to advanced modelling and data analysis
resources, to the data produced by
space missions and ground-based telescopes
? will maximise the scientific exploitation
and impact of major European investment
in space missions and ground - based
installations.
