RadioNet3 has been under review for the first 18 months of his activity. The Mid Term Review took place at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Radioastronomie in Bonn on November 18, 2013. The aim of a technical review is to assess the work carried out under the project over the period and provide recommendations to the Commission. The RadioNet3 Reviewer was Prof. Richard Schilizzi, University of Manchester. The EC Commissioner Elena Righi-Steele attended the review session.
The reviewer's task is to give external advice to the Commission on the project, with respect to the degree of fulfilment of the project work plan, the breakthrough potential with respect to the scientific state of the art, the resources planned and utilized, the management procedures, the beneficiaries contributions and integration, the expected potential impact in scientific, technological terms, and the plans for the use and dissemination of results. The First Periodic Report of the RadioNet3 project was submitted to the EC by August 29, 2013, in which the activities done in the first 18 months by the Management Team, the 6 Networking Activities, the 4 Joint Research Activities, and the 9 Transnational Access facilities were described. The meeting was opened by Rafael Bachiller, Chairman of the RadioNet3 Board. The Coordinator, the Project Manager, the Project Scientist, the Transnational Access programme leader, and the Joint Research Activities leaders presented the activities done so far in the project. The review and recommendations by Prof. Schilizzi followed afterwards. »
