RadioNet Partners & Mission RadioNet has 20 partners: all of the major radio astronomy facilities and laboratories involved in technology development. Grew out of 25 years of cooperation in the European VLBI Network. Coordinated by Univ. of Manchester, UK Remit is to support the European radio astronomy community and to enhance the European radio astronomy facilities RadioNet was awarded €12.4M 4 more institutes wish to join in 2005; with others expressing interest.

The Telescopes & Trans-National Access Europe has some of the largest and most sophisticated radio telescopes on Earth. These facilities are working together more closely than ever under the RadioNet umbrella. In 2004: TNA programme delivered 4200 hours of access; 40% of time went to new users.

Arp220: a starburst galaxy – optical image Science with RadioNet Facilities MERLIN: 18cm continuum 49 supernovae – starburst in action

Developing future technology and software for radio astronomy. 3 JRAs: all running on time and on budget.

Networking Activities 8 NAs Range from management to policy planning to engineering workshops. In 2004 RadioNet funded 16 workshops on science, engineering, interference, operations and policy. Several hundred astronomers and engineers involved. 24 meetings planned for next 18 months.

RadioNet is not enough! the future of radio astronomy in Europe seems to require an umbrella organisation to provide greater coherence and integration as we enter the era of ‘Big Science’. RadioNet is providing the vehicle for discussions of the future and the establishment of an organisation that might manage the construction of the Square Kilometre Array. Coordinated Outreach Programmes RadioNet is collaborating more closely with OPTICON and ILIAS in outreach programmes. RadioNet has just appointed a dedicated outreach officer. I3 Management ~20-25 partners is optimum. The management overhead at the time of the annual report is significant. Issues
