HARMONI Design Workshop

20/01/2014
IAC hosted the "HARMONI Design Workshop" from January 14 to January 16, 2014. The meeting was attended by 28 engineers and scientists of the partner institutions, Oxford University, UKATC, CRAL, ONERA, CAB-CSIC and IAC. HARMONI is the first light integral field spectrograph for the 39m European Extremely Large Telescope -E-ELT- from ESO. The project is now in an "Interim Study" period (partially supported by Severo Ochoa), mainly focused in the revision of the Phase-A instrument design and project definition to improve and adapt to the new E-ELT concept. The aims of the workshop were to review the current status of the engineering, science and management activities of the International Consortium.
