Activity N3: Co-ordinated space/earth-based observationsDeveloping synergies between in-situ exploration of the planetary systems and telescope observations from the ground or Earth orbit.

Activity N4: Developing an outreach strategyDeveloping 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 exchangeSupporting key exchanges of personnel between research groups with the aim to establish a long-term working relation between the groups.

Activity N6: Meetings, conferencesOrganisation of EuroPlaNet meetings during the project.

Activity N7: Design and development of the IDISCreation of an Integrated and Distributed Information Service (IDIS) and its further evolution into a European Virtual Planetary Observatory.

• Space Mission complementary observations

Ground-based observations of potential targets that are, will, or have been observed by spacecraft instruments, with the aim tocomplement (wavelength, time, geometry) the scientific results.

• Space Mission supporting observations

Assist in the preparation or in the operational stage of a planetary mission (engineering as well as scientific aspects of the mission). Examples: Titan atmosphere observations prior to the Huygens descent, comet observations for Rosetta mission, etc.
