Description
Ground-based observations are a strong tool for asteroseismic studies and even in the era of asteroseismic space missions they continue to play an important role. I will report on the activities of the CoRoT/SWG Ground-Based Observations Working Group, discuss the observational efforts of the Open Cluster campaigns and the search for the origin of extra line-broadening in massive OB stars.

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
