RadioNet Transnational Access Wiki Page
RadioNet includes a coherent set of Transnational Access programmes aimed at significantly improving the access of European astronomers to the major radio astronomical infrastructures that exist in, or are owned and run by, European organizations. This suite of facilities offers a unique array of capabilities, unmatched anywhere in the world. The combined investment, in todays prices, approaches 500,000,000. The objectives of the Transnational Access portion of RadioNet are to draw together, for the first time, all of the European radio facilities under one umbrella; to enable the European user community to have easy and transparent access to the entire range of facilities; and to offer them an integrated, professional and consistent level of user support. RadioNet's goal is, through the judicious use of EC funding, to simultaneously improve the data products delivered by these facilities and to extend the opportunities for access to a wide-range of EU and Associated State users.
