What Can OPTICON Do for You?

Dr. John K. Davies
OPTICON Project Scientist
UK Astronomy Technology Centre, Edinburgh

OPTICON (www.astro-opticon.org) is an integrating activity for optical astronomy which is funded by the EC to the tune of 8.5 million Euro over 4 years (2013-16).

I will outline the exisiting OPTICON programme in technology research, community building and its contribution to planing for the next generation of large facilities (E-ELT and VLTI).

I will also describe how new communities can gain access to state of the art 2-4m telescopes via the OPTICON Trans-National Access programme and the steps OPTICON is taking to make this process easier.
