RECAP Unravelling the complexity of the reionization history though simulations and multi-wavelength observations

Coordinator: ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI ASTROFISICA (IT)

The epoch of Reionization marks the last major transition of the Universe: approximately 400.000 year after the Big bang, the neutral intergalactic medium, mainly composed of hydrogen atoms, started to be ionized by high-energy radiation from the first cosmic sources, stars, galaxies. The onset, timeline and topology of the Reionization process are all tightly linked to the nature of the sources of ionizing radiation: by identifying and studying them we can gain fundamental insights into what shaped the evolution of the universe, from the smooth matter distribution of early times, as revealed…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €9.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2025-07-01 to 2031-06-30.
