About the Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure (RI)

The Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure (RI) provided free access to the world’s largest collection of planetary simulation and analysis facilities, data services and tools, a ground-based observational network and programme of community support activities.

The project was funded through the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme and ran for four years from February 2020 until July 2024. The Europlanet 2024 RI consortium was led by the University of Kent, UK, and had over 50 beneficiary institutions from 24 countries in Europe and around the world, with a further 44 affiliated partners. The project drew on the resources of the Europlanet Society to disseminate activities and outcomes and develop a more diverse community of users.

Europlanet 2024 RI provided:

  • Transnational Access to 24 laboratories in Europe and seven field sites, as well as additional facilities in South Korea and China.
  • Virtual Access to services and tools.
  • Networking activities to support the community and provide rapid response observations to support planetary missions.
