The new paradigm of the space sector, with a drastic reduction in launch costs and the rise of small satellites, demands more than ever the introduction of innovative technologies, especially in a sector as emerging today as the Earth Observation market.Within this framework, the IACTEC-Space group of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

This research project aims at combining expertise in high performance com- puting (HPC), in theoretical spectropolarimetry, and in the numerical methods for the solution of the radiative transfer (RT) problem for polarized radiation under non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) conditions, in order to de- velop and apply novel diagnostic tools

Our novel project principally comprises mobilities which form the backbone of a programme for educating new leaders in astronomical research through international collaboration across old and new EU member states. This new project will make use of our previous successful partnership "Per Aspera Ad Astra Simul" which initiated these collaborations

Contract Ramón y Cajal to develop his research work in the specific research project "Weak decays of hadrons as laboratories of New Physics and QCD".

The aim of this project is to help the educational community of Tenerife to identify the scientific culture and the sky of the Canary Islands as part of their own heritage. To the end, we propose the appropiate training and motivation of the teaching staff, the use of suitable material to carry out observations, as well as the use of the scientific

X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories to study the physics of relativistic stars. On the one hand, they provide robust evidence for the existence of black holes (BHs), the pinnacle of extreme gravity. On the other, they allow investigations on neutron stars (NS) the densest form of matter known. In addition, accretion on matter (provided by the
