The BiD4BEST ITN will offer doctoral training in one of the most visible areas of astrophysical research, the formation of supermassive black holes in galaxies. A coordinated research training effort in this field is needed now to mobilise the community in Europe and prepare a core group of young scientists in anticipation of new observational data

The IAC is the most important astrophysics research centre in Spain. Its new Strategic Plan mainly seeks excellence in science and to strengthen and consolidate the IAC´s position as a centre of international reference for astrophysical research.The Strategic Plan involves exploration and discovery using major world facilities (like GTC, VLT and

The PILAR-IAC-Europa project pursues 3 objectives: 1. Creation, consolidation and training of a specialised support structure in the form of the European Programmes Section (SPE) within the Institutional Projects Office of the IAC. 2. A significant increase in the participation of the IAC and its associated entities (IACTEC/Starlight Foundation

An Ion Beam Figuring machine allows a contactless polishing process. A small beam of positive ions (Argon) is projected against a substrate surface. Ions produce a chain collision with the atoms that allows material to be extracted in a controlled way. Before g to carry out the process, the surface must be measured with an interferometer, which

This action aims to acquire the hardware and build an ATLAS unit at the Teide Observatory (OT) in order to integrate the OT and the IAC Solar System group in one of the most important surveys of NEOs. ATLAS is an early detection system for objects that can collide with the Earth, composed of a network of 50cm telescopes, at f / D = 2 and a wide
