Welcome to the Europlanet RI website.

Europlanet RI, the Europlanet Research Infrastructure, is the four-year follow-on project to EuroPlaNet, a four-year Coordination Action supported by the European Union under the Sixth Framework Programme.

The Europlanet RI was launched in January 2009. It is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3), ie. a combination of Networking Activities, Transnational Access Activities and Joint Research Activities.

• The Networking Activities aim at further fostering a culture of cooperation in the field of Planetary Sciences.
• The objective of the Transnational Access Activities is to provide:
  • Transnational access to a range of laboratory and field site facilities tailored to the needs of planetary research;
  • And on-line access to the available planetary science data, information and software tools, through the IDIS e-service.
• The overall aim of the Joint Research Activities is to improve the services provided by the ensemble of Transnational Access Activities.

The project is co-funded by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme.
