Participación del IAC en el congreso sobre el V Programa Marco Europeo

Advertised on

El Quinto Programa Marco Europeo de Apoyo a la Investigación, el Desarrollo Tecnológico (I+D) y la Innovación se presenta estos días en Essen (Alemania), en un congreso con una participación de 4.500 personas y una exposición de 90 stands europeos.

Estos 90 stands, organizados por bloques temáticos, son una muestra seleccionada de los numerosos proyectos e instituciones financiados por el anterior Programa Marco, que destacan por sus resultados o peculiaridades dentro de su entorno científico-tecnológico.

La Comisión Europea ha querido mostrar en esta exposición tres ejemplos de Grandes Instalaciones Científicas de prestigio entre más de 100 financiadas bajo el anterior Programa Marco, siendo una de ellas el "Observatorio Norte Europeo", integrado por los Observatorios del Teide (Tenerife) y del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma), pertenecientes al Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). Este centro de investigación muestra proyecciones audiovisuales, páginas en Internet y seis paneles sobre sus observatorios y sus actividades, así como sobre el último contrato TMR (Training and Mobility of Researchers)-Access to Large-Scale Facilities Programme (Programa de Acceso a Grandes Instalaciones Europeas) y el proyecto del Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC).

    First Euclid results dazzle scientific community
    The Euclid Consortium announces the publication of its first papers, demonstrating the space mission's ability to search for wandering planets, study the dark matter of galaxies and explore the evolution of the Universe. Five new images with unprecedented resolution are also published. Spain plays an important role in the Euclid mission where, in addition to being part of the consortium that has led the mission since its inception, it has also participated in the instrumental development of the project and contributes significantly to its scientific exploitation.

    New DESI Results Weigh In On Gravity
    Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands of galaxies we see today. A new study using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has traced how this cosmic structure grew over the past 11 billion years, providing the most precise test to date of gravity at very large scales. DESI is an international collaboration of more than 900 researchers, included the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), from over 70 institutions around the world and is managed by

    Machine learning reveals the merging history of nearby galaxies
    Research led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has used an innovative technique based on artificial intelligence to study how stars form in galaxies. By analysing 10 000 nearby galaxies, the team have discovered that most stars are born within their own galaxy. Galactic mergers, while important, are not the main source of new stars. Furthermore, the study reveals that more massive galaxies are more affected by these mergers. These results, published in Nature Astronomy, provide new clues about the complex history of galaxies and their evolution over time. Most galaxies do not
