The "Área de Carreteras, Movilidad, Innovación y Cultura" belonging to the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, has financed the employment of IACTEC´s researchers in the programmes "Space" (Microsatellites, Teledetection, Optical Communications), "Optical Systems Advanced Fabrication" and "Medical Technology" through the IACTEC Technological Training"

The investigation of near Earth Objects (NEOs) can provide crucial information on the formation and early evolution of the solar system and is also important to constrain the asteroidal contribution to the delivery of prebiotic material (water and organic molecules) to our planet (e.g., Pierazzo and Chyba, 1999; Morbidelli et al., 2000; Saladino et

Rubin-LSST will provide an unprecedented combination of time coverage, 6-bands photometric depth and spatial extension for a variety of environments. In particular, crowded stellar fields (the Galactic Plane and Bulge, Galactic Globular Clusters, the Magellanic Clouds) will be of particular interest for a relevant part of the Community that

Contract Ramón y Cajal to develop its research work in the specific research project "Solar and Stellar Magnetism through Spectro-Polarimetry"

The project addresses the development of solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC) supporting the adoption of applications with industrial and societal relevance for Europe on evolving HPC hardware and system software/programming environments. IAC coordinates Task 6 (Facilitation of access to scientific and technical expertise and knowledge

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
