RADIOSTAR Radioactivities from Stars to Solar Systems

Coordinator: HUN-REN CSILLAGASZATI ES FOLDTUDOMANYI KUTATOKOZPONT (HU)

RADIOSTAR will exploit radioactive nuclei produced by nuclear reactions inside stars and ejected by stellar winds and supernova explosions to fill the missing pieces of the puzzle of the origin of our Solar System: What were the circumstances of the birth of our Sun? Were they similar to those of the majority of other stars in our Galaxy, or were they special? Radioactive nuclei are the key to answer these questions because meteoritic analysis has proven that many of them were present at the time of the birth of the Sun. Their origin, however, has been so far elusive. RADIOSTAR steps beyond t…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €1.7M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2017-09-01 to 2023-08-31.
