Description
HELAS is a Coordination Action funded under the European Commission's
Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) since April 1st, 2006 till March 31st,
2010. The HELAS Consortium includes 10 partner institutions that host
researchers active in helio- and asteroseismology. This initiative
offers a unique chance to advance the field further by coordinating the
activities of researchers, enhancing the quality and quantity of science
performed in Europe. The HELAS Forum is one of its Networking
Activities. Its main goal is to encourage, provide, and support the
tools, activities, and initiatives emanating from the European helio-
and asterosesimology scientific communities. Thus, the HELAS Forum
should ensure European competence and competitiveness in these areas by
better coordinating the groups. It also enhances the synergies between
the helio- and astero communities and between those and other
non-European related activities. Here, we present the Helas Forum
IT-platform (www.helas-eu.org), developed to facilitate the coordinated
activities such as data and software package exchange, information about
workshops and meetings, knowledge of the community, etc., as well as to
allow tracking the development of HELAS activities.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
