Key Technologies Network Colin Cunningham Objectives WP5.1: Workshops & Roadmapping: Map astronomical science goals onto technologies already available and those requiring further development Identify links to implementation paths and funding sources. Investigate how European cooperation can help make significant advances in these areas. bring together teams to develop proposals for technology development relevant to astronomical telescopes and instrumentation. WP5.2: Information Exchange & Networking: Encourage interactions to develop European capabilities for technology development e-mail newsletters, web-pages including an interactive WIKI site Develop industrial networks using existing frameworks where possible. 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 2 Activity Summary Core Working Group set up First meeting held at SPIE in Glasgow Second meeting in Grenoble on 13th Oct Project Manager appointed – also managing JRA5 (Callum Norrie) Interactive website (Twiki) in operation Document management Calendar Action tracking Discussion area 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 3 Core team Membership ColinCunningham (Chair & JRA5) Norbert Hubin (JRA1) Philippe Feautrier (JRA2) Stefan Wagner (JRA3) Alain Chelli (JRA4) Filippo Zerbi (JRA6) Bernhard Brandl (Lieden, Netherlands) AlanBridger (UK ATC) Pierre Kern (LOAG, France) GavinDalton (RAL, UK) CarlosMartin (IAC, Spain) Goeran Olofsson (Stockholm, Sweden) Martin Roth (Potsdam, Germany) 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 4 Associate Team Preliminary list of members – to be agreed at the next core team meeting We want to have a good balance: Countries Expertise Industry Gender!

Must link to international agency funding and priorities eg ESO, ESA 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 9 First Workshops IR Detectors – with industry Thermal Modelling Particle Physics models for instrument development? 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 10 Other possible topics: Large optical devices – gratings, lenses, filters Dimensional Metrology Cryogenics Mechanisms – including cryo Smart Structures Composites Interface between electronics & software, FPGAs – control Systems Engineering Distributed control and integrated systems 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 11 Websites Twiki in operation External website requirements not yet defined 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 12 Future activities: Industry Club Knowledge Base Seen as important, but needs funding Could get industry and national agencies to fund We want to help development groups know what knowledge exists in Europe – both research and industrial groups Both activities lower priority – will be started once the network has really become productive 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 13 Issues for the Opticon Board What is the scope of Technology in Opticon? Waveband – 0.4 to 100 micron? Ground based and Space What do we mean by Technology What should we concentrate on? Include systems, software, facilities…. My bias is technology for ELT instruments What timescale? 5-15 years? 11th Oct 2004 OPTICON Key Technologies Network Grenoble 14
