Seminar on the ERC funding programme 2014 -2020
European Research Council (ERC) grants support individual researchers of any nationality and age who wish to pursue their frontier research. The ERC encourages in particular proposals that cross disciplinary boundaries, pioneering ideas that address new and emerging fields and applications that introduce unconventional, innovative approaches. ERC grants are awarded through open competition to projects headed by starting and established researchers - the sole criterion for selection is scientific excellence.
ERC grants are part of the European Horizon 2020 programme for research and innovation. Last December the ERC published the new work programme containing the first ERC calls under Horizon 2020. To gain an overall view of the rules and possibilities, we cordially invite you for an ERC information session. The seminar will be chaired by Dr. José Manuel Fernández de la Labastida, Scientific Management Department, ERC Executive Agency.
For more information about the ERC, please visit: http://erc.europa.eu
Start date: 11 Feb, 2014 - 12:00
End date: 11 Feb, 2014 - 13:30
Location: Aula, IAC Headquarters, Tenerife.

Severo Ochoa Seminar: Gaia Mission.
Dr. Elena Pancino (Severo Ochoa visitor at the IAC) will chair a seminar on Gaia mission.
Gaia - the ESA cornerstone astrometric mission - was launched in December 2013, with the goal of censing the Milky Way population in a 6D space (positions and velocity) of 10^9 point-like obects, with errors 100-1000 times smaller than Hipparcos, with three color magnitudes and spectra as well. The scientific impact of its data will be large in many fields of astrophysics, from Galactic science, to Solar system objects, to stellar astrophysics, to galaxies and Quasars; from the distance ladder revision to fundamental physics. I will describe the mission concept, the scientific goals, and the present status of the mission, with special attention to the flux calibration of Gaia data.

Start date: 22 Apr, 2014 - 12:30
End date: 22 Apr, 2014 - 14:00
