An international team led by researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) has cataloged around 200 oscillations of the solar prominences during the first half of 2014. Its development has been possible thanks to the GONG network of telescopes, of which one of them is located in the Teide Observatory.

The creation of SOMMa will allow the centres and the units to increase their impact, promote collaboration and networking and enrich the complete R+D system. SOMMa has presented the document “The SOMMa report: Actions needed to safeguard the competitivity of science” whose aim is to attract the attention of the politicians in order to tackle, urgently and permanently, some of the administrative problems in science.
