What is a call for proposal?

An Ariadna Calls for Proposals seeks the collaboaration of the European academia to address a number of scientific questions detailed in the study descriptions (available above). These are defined by ESA's Advanced Concepts Team and have been identified to have potential in terms of ESA's objectives. The objective of the Ariadna scheme is to perform collaborative high-level research on advanced topics of shared interest and usually slightly outside the usual ESA and space horizon together with university research groups.
