RadioNet achievements

Transnational access to the RadioNet facilities integrated professional user support NorthStar

Innovative R&D SIS and HEB mixers, cryogenic HEMT MMIC amplifier, miniaturized

receiver modules (IRAM, APEX and ALMA), UniBoard/UniBoard2 (FPGA-based computing platform), Wide-band receiver (1.5-5GHz), DDBC3 Backend, Calibration software (ParselTongue), fast transient imager

(CASACore), software reducing the amount of re-computations

Comprehensive and sustainable networking training (ERIS, YERAC), engineering (TOG, GTG), policy (white

paper, ERTRC report, CRAF), ALMA user support, scientific events (IAU Symposia, EVN Symposium)


Flagship community

representing an interest of radio astronomy in Europe


Pilot under H2020


To develop new ways for opening RIs of European interest and to support the integrating provision of their services at EU level: to harmonise national & EU

To prepare the ground for supporting networks that bring together national, regional and European funders of research infrastructures, for co-funding trans-national access of researchers

Targeting larger sets of RIs, gathering close advanced communities to develop and implement a programme focussing on access provision, harmonisation of access procedures in the EU & integration

Pilot - Objectives & Target


1. To prepare the ground for supporting networks that bring together national, regional and European funders of research infrastructures, for co-funding trans-national access of researchers

2. Joint activities to facilitate and integrate the access procedures, improve the services the infrastructures provide and further develop on-line services, ensuring their connection to the EOSC

3. Develop and trail models, mechanisms and practices for the long-term engagement of funders in supporting and making transnational access sustainable beyond EU funding

Pilot - Scope


EC seeks a model of co-funding actions for TA (FP9) In the long term, a commitment of the national funders to TAs is

expected As a result, reforms/structural changes at national level may

follow, however this is not a requirement for the Pilot The pilot creates a network of the community core group

(access provider) and the funding agencies The funding agencies ≠ beneficiaries A sustainability model for RadioNet is not a goal of pilot

Access grants could be given to 3rd parties JRA in pilot should address the scope 2 (EOSC), other JRA via

Integrating Networks under Joint Research in FP9 RIs in FP9 will be co-funded actions, organised according to the

outcome of this pilot

Pilot - our notes


Dec 2018 RadioNet/OPTICON meet EC

Dec 2018 - Feb 2019 1st draft of the call

June 2019 adoption of the call

October 2019 release of the call

March/May 2020 proposal submission deadline

1 January 2021 start of the pilot

2019 is the preparation year for the pilot

Pilot - Timeline


TA is the heart of RadioNet view of the pilot All RadioNet TA providers will be beneficiaries For EVN cascade model will be envisaged

JRA activity will focus on developing integrated and coordinated TA access/archive (EOSC)

NA activity will focus on exploring future TA co-funding access scenarios Through forum bringing together the providers, funding

agencies, EC and other stakeholders (e.g. ASTRONET)

MGT model tried and proven consortium structure, adapted for equitable OPTICON and RadioNet cooperation/representation
