Nuclear astrophysics studies the origin of the chemical elements: from the Big Bang to stellar burning and to neutron star mergers. ChETEC-INFRA project networks the three types of infrastructures that, together, provide the capabilities needed for this quest: (1) astronuclear laboratories supply reaction data, (2) supercomputer facilities perform stellar structure and nucleosynthesis computations, and (3) telescopes and mass spectrometers collect elemental and isotopic abundance data.

The consortium includes 32 partners from all around Europe and is lead by HZDR, Germany. Beside the joint research activities, the project supports transnational access to particle accelerators, telescopes and supercomputers. It also supports outreach and scientific schools for the younger generations.

Atomki lead the work package about gas target development and provide transnational access to the cyclotron accelerator.

The total budget of this project is 5 MEUR from which Atomki receives 104 kEUR.
