OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú OPTICON Trans-national Access Programme under the auspices of the European Commission MID TERM REVIEW Corfú, September 2007

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Objective: Widen access to all European telescopes of 2m+ aperture which have state of the art instrumentation. Special emphasis on new users, especially those from CEE countries. OPTICON Access Programme

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Proposal and Contract Initial proposal was for 25 telescopes/2555 nights-days After contract negotiations 22 reduced to telescopes. Immediate concern was that we could not meet likely demand. Special additional conditions for qualifying proposals agreed at first TDF.

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú 17 institutions involved (OPTICON partners) –18 optical-infrared telescopes (between 1.5 – 4m aperture) –4 solar telescopes Commencement date and duration: –1 st January 2004, 60 months External users are welcome to apply for observing time: –Free access to each of these 22 European operated telescopes Scientific, technical and logistic support Travel and subsistence grants –Standard selection procedures: Scientific merits and feasibility OPTICON Access Programme General Overview

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Approx observing nights/days –630 users, 400 observing runs, T&S grants. Usual deadlines and application forms/procedures. New users, young researchers and users from countries with no similar facilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú 18 night-time and 4 solar telescopes

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú After first 18 Months 409/1188 observing periods supported equivalent to 35% of available budget in just 2 semesters Prediction was that 5 year budget would be expended by middle of year 3 which was unacceptable to TDF and OPTICON board. Not all qualifying nights supported in years 2 and 3 to return spend to roughly flat profile over 5 years  Limited number of nights at each telescope each year

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Situation by late 2006 Due to these strict controls most telescopes were close to 60% of the contracted access by mid 2006, restoring the flat spend profile. There were a few, well understood exceptions (eg LT, Aristarchos, ESO 3.5, TBL) The September 2006 TDF rebalanced some allocations to achieve 80-90% commitment at most telescopes by end 2007.

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Provisional situation by August 2007 Most of the telescopes have already surpassed the 80% of allocation time LT, Aristarchos, ESO 3.5m and ESO3.6m present a considerable delay

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Provisional situation by 2007 Satisfactory participation of researchers form Central and Eastern European countries Last three observing campaigns show a significant oversubscription rate for the OPTICON Access Programme

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Accumulative results ( ) 69,84% - of the total amount of access to be provided under the contract users (members of observing teams). 211 travel and subsistence grants (plus an extra 9% of user groups pending of select their observers) 57% new observers

OPTICON Access Programme. OPTICON Access Programme. Mid-term review September Corfú Future Plans October 2007 TDF will make final rebalancing to ensure contract obligations are met. Unused travel and Access Office funds (if any) will be converted into extra access. New Access programme will be defined for FP7 building on strengths of FP6 experience.
