 ===== French-Spanish Laboratory for Astrophysics in Canarias =====
-The French-Spanish Laboratory for Astrophysics in Canarias (FSLAC; CNRS IRL2009), is a joint international research Laboratory between the French CNRS and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). FSLAC was created on March 15th 2021
+The **French-Spanish Laboratory for Astrophysics in Canarias (FSLAC)**, is a joint international research Laboratory between the [[https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/fr| French Institut National des Sciences de l'Univers (INSU) of CNRS]] and the [[https://www.iac.es/|Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC)]].
+This new structure builds on the collaboration that began in the 1980s with the decision to install the French THEMIS telescope in Tenerife.
+The scientific cooperation agreement providing for the creation of FSLAC was signed on March 15th, 2021. FSLAC is jointly supervised by the two organizations.
+Within CNRS, FSLAC has the structure name IRL2009. [[https://international.cnrs.fr/en/cooperer-a-l-international/
+| CNRS IRLs]] are international schemes in which research work is jointly conducted around a shared scientific focus. They structure, within an identified location, the significant and lasting presence of scientists from a limited number of French and foreign research institutions.
+=== Scientific objectives ===
+Three major scientific projects are outlined in the FSLAC agreement:
+  * participation in the future Cherenkov Telescope Array in the Canary Islands for astronomy;
+  * use of the [[:start|THEMIS telescope]] and the next generation of telescopes for solar physics studies;
+  * the development of a spectrometer on the QUIJOTE telescope for observing the cosmic microwave background.
