Activity N3: Coordinated space/earth- based observations Developing synergies between in-situ exploration of the planetary systems and telescope observations from the ground or Earth orbit. Activity N4: Developing an outreach strategy Developing a pan-European outreach plan that will help to associate the European Citizens to the Planetary Exploration program activities in Europe (incl. space agencies, research institutes, Universities and science museums). Activity N5: Personnel exchange Supporting key exchanges of personnel between research groups with the aim to establish a long-term working relation between the groups. Activity N6: Meetings, conferences Organisation of EuroPlaNet meetings during the project. Activity N7: Design and development of the IDIS Creation of an Integrated and Distributed Information Service (IDIS) and its further evolution into a European Virtual Planetary Observatory.
