Welcome!
Kickoff meeting for the EISCAT_3D Preparation for Production (EISCAT3D_PfP) project.
European Commission funded project to help move the ESFRI Roadmap infrastructure, EISCAT_3D, toward implementation.
Introductions

Meeting Ground Rules This is an open public meeting. No proprietary or
confidential information should be discussed or presented. Funding levels for individual components/tasks will not be
discussed, except in a very broad sense, so the integrity of the tendering processes can be maintained.
Questions and comments are encouraged. Anything discussed may be published on the project web
site: https://eiscat3d.se/project/pfp. Parts of the meeting may be recorded.
The project itself will be kept as open as practical. This is in keeping with our public financing and the scientific goals of the final system.

EISCAT • Originally: European Incoherent SCATter. • Established in 1976 as a Scientific
Association with headquarters in Sweden (non-profit organization).
• Strictly non-military usage. • Operates 3 ISRs. • Locations: Tromsø (NO), Kiruna (SE),
Sodankylä (FI), Longyearbyen (Svalbard). • Founding members: UK, DE, FR, NO,
SE, FI. • Members (2015):
UK, NO, SE, FI, JP, CN (RU, FR, UA, KR).
• August 2011: 30 years of measurements. • More than 2100 publications in peer-
reviewed journals (since 1982)

EISCAT_3D EISCAT_3D will be a volumetric vector-imaging radar for studying the
geospace environment It represents a revolutionary upgrade to the existing EISCAT mainland
facilities, utilizing multi-static, phased-array technologies It will support continuous measurements of the space environment via
unattended operations EISCAT_3D will have the sensitivity needed for ionospheric measurements
at better than 100 msec time scales and 50-100 meter spatial scales (order of magnitude improvements over current systems)

Funding status European Commission (Horizon2020, InfraDev-3): 3.1 M€ to prepare the
EISCAT_3D design for a large-scale production environment.
Finland: A total of 12.8 M€ have been allocated by the Finnish Academy and the University of Oulu for participation in the EISCAT_3D project. This includes both in-kind contributions and a stipulation that sufficient funds are raised from other sources.
Norway: The Research Council of Norway allocated 228 MNOK for participation in the EISCAT_3D production phase project under the condition that the project start by the end of 2016.
Sweden: The Swedish Research Council (VR) have allocated 120 Million SEK for the construction of EISCAT_3D under the conditions that sufficient funds are raised from other funding sources and a percentage of the funds be used in Sweden.
Japan: E3D is included in programme ‘Study of Coupling Processes in the Solar Terrestrial System.’, which in turn is one of the 10 selected projects in the Roadmap 2014.
China: China’s Research Institute for Radio Wave Propagation (CRIRP) are proposing EISCAT_3D for the next five year plan.
