Description
In 2020, a project for building a Bulgarian LOFAR station (LOFAR-BG) was approved and included in the Roadmap for Research Infrastructure of the Republic of Bulgaria. The same year started a H2020 Widening project aimed at transferring knowledge in scientific research and the operation of a LOFAR station, in which partners were ASTRON (NL) and DIAS (IE). Here we present the progress to date in software, hardware and human resources developments towards building LOFAR-BG.
