INAF. The Istituto di Radioastronomia (IRA), member of the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) operates major national infrastructures (the Medicina and Noto 32-m radio telescopes) and is responsible for design, construction and operation of the Sardinia Radio Telescope, a parabolic 64-metre antenna. ▇▇▇ is a founding member of the European VLBI Network (EVN) and member of the International VLBI Service for Astrometry and Geodesy (IVS). It is involved in major international ground-based projects such as ALMA, LOFAR and SKA. IRA hosts the Italian ▇▇▇▇ Regional Centre on behalf of the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica. ▇▇▇ has gained expertise in the development of state-of-the-art components for mm/submm receivers including MMICs and has extensive experience in working with cryogenically cooled low-noise amplifier systems. In the framework of the EC funded project ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ prototyped a multi-feed array cryogenically cooled receiver at 22 GHz, and is developing a new generation of multi-purpose digital back-ends for radio astronomy. ▇▇▇ supports various high-level educational programmes (Courses, Master Thesis and PhDs) in collaboration with several university departments in Bologna, Cagliari and Catania. For WP8, INAF will participate in the development of tools and integration systems as well as participate in the testing of the systems ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the Senior Scientist of the Istituto di Radioastronomia with main scientific interest in Active Galactic Nuclei, polarimetric interferometry, radio source evolution. Involved in VLBI activities for many years, he was Board member of European VLBI Network, of the International Square Kilometre Array Steering Committee, of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry, of the EXPReS project. He will coordinate the tasks assigned in NEXPReS JRA2 to the Istituto di Radioastronomia. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is the Senior Technologist of the Istituto di Radioastronomia with expertise in software for data analysis and archiving. He coordinated the Astronomical Database WG for the National Astronet project, and worked in astronomical archives projects like AVO and Skyeye. He designed the network of the CNR Campus in Bologna. He is Chairman of the campus computer science commission and member of the CNR and INAF commission for network infrastructures and services. As the responsible person for the Italian network for e-VLBI he managed the IRA participation in the EXPReS project. Similarly, the relations...
