Summary:

"The GLORIA ('Global robotic telescopes intelligent array for e-Science') project, led by Spain's Facultad de Informática of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), seeks to create an open access network for astronomical observations. In particular, the GLORIA consortium will provide amateur astronomers with the means to study astronomy using robotic telescopes or by evaluating astronomical data available in both GLORIA's and other groups' public databases. In order to push forward the free access to scientific data as well as research opportunities via a virtual community, the GLORIA ('Global robotic telescopes intelligent array for e-Science') project, which has clinched €2.5 million under the 'Research infrastructures' Theme of the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), plans to offer access to a budding number of robotic telescopes via a Web 2.0 environment on four continents by 2014...."
