SISCO · Spectroscopic and imaging surveys for cosmology

Project objective

Training young researchers in the state-of-the-art techniques for making modern astronomical surveys is vital if Europe is to make world-class discoveries in cosmology. Our main training route comprises the funding of PDRA and Phd student places at the research locations which have not only a fine past record in observational cosmology but are locations where the future of European survey cosmology is likely to be forged over the next 5 years. The educational value to the young researcher will be partly in the training received directly during the pursuit of front-line research topics but also in the indirect training achieved by working in an area where the scientific benefits of a more coordinated European approach are already clearly visible. There is obvious potential to develop gifted young researchers who have a broader perspective of the infrastructure of European astronomy. Plans for joint tenure, exchanges and network conferences will further promote these aims.
