ESF Conference in Partnership with LFUI
The Modern Era of Helio- and Asteroseismology
20-25 May 2012
This conference is organised with support from: |
- HELAS
The European Helio- and Asteroseismology Network (HELAS) was initiated and funded by the European Commission from April 1st, 2006 - March 31, 2010, as a “Co-ordination Action” under its Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). Since then HELAS continues its efforts and offers the unique chance to advance Helio- and Asteroseismology further by coordinating the activities of researchers active in the field. These coordinating activities aim on exchanging knowledge, data and tools to proceed with the future steps in a well-prepared manner and to foster the existing synergies of the field.
- EAST Consortium
The goal of EAST is to ensure access of European solar astronomers to world-class high-resolution ground-based observing facilities. In order to achieve this goal, EAST intends to develop, construct and operate a next-generation large aperture European Solar Telescope (EST) in the Canaries. Furthermore, EAST endeavours to co-ordinate the operation and scientific use of existing high-resolution optical solar telescopes on the ground in Europe, and to co-ordinate and facilitate efforts of its members to participate in other solar facilities such as the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope. EAST shall facilitate access to these solar facilities also for European solar physicists who are not EAST members and encourage their participation in EAST.
