The CLASP suborbital rocket experiment, motivated by theoretical investigations carried out at the IAC, provided unprecedented observations of the polarization of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The theoretical modeling of these pioneering observations has revealed that the enigmatic chromosphere-corona transition region is extremely corrugated, with a geometry much more complex than in today’s most advanced models.

The area of technological and business collaboration of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, ICTec organized a meeting for discussion about the transfer of technology and knowledge generated by Astrophysics. This takes place on November 23rd and is included in the framework of the Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS 2018).

The audiovisual series “The IAC investigates” produced by the IAC within its Unit of Communication and Scientific Culture (UC3) with funding from the Severo Ochoa programme, received the prize for the best scientific audiovisual production in the category of Research, Development and Innovation (R+D+I) in the XXIX edition of the International Bienale of Science Cinema BICC2018 Ronda-Madrid-Mexico.
