STELLAR Scientific and Technological Excellence by Leveraging LOFAR Advancements in Radio Astronomy
Coordinator: INSTITUTE OF ASTRONOMY AND NATIONAL ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY AT THE BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (BG)
The Institute of Astronomy with National Astronomical Observatory (IANAO) is the premier institute of astrophysics in Bulgaria, operating the National Astronomical Observatory, and the only one in Bulgaria engaged in radio astronomy (RA) and space weather (SW) research. It has recently taken a strategic decision to significantly expand its RA scientific arm, and to work towards adopting world-class radio observing capabilities. To this end, it has begun a collaboration with the Technical University of Sofia’s (TUS) Faculty of Telecommunications, a local expert institution with strong capabili…
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: €900k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2020-09-01 to 2023-08-31.
