EXOSHARE

New frontiers in exoplanet Science through High Angular resolution astronomy on shared optical observatories

This project, with 35 partners gathering 34 research units and institutions, 7 industry, ESO and GTC for research infrastructures and facilities, has been submitted in June 2026 to the call HORIZON-INFRA-2026-TECH-01-01.

The four world-class European research infrastructures that will benefit from the R&D activities conducted over the course of the EXOSHARE project. Left: the Paranal platform hosting the four VLT UTs and the underground infrastructure enabling the VLTI. Middle: the GTC, currently the largest optical telescope in operation in the world. Right: the ELT, currently under construction.
