This is the motto of the S\u00e3o Paulo Astronomy Network (SPANET), officially established on March 16 with an event held at FAPESP. &#8220;Our objective is to create a connection between researchers and to increase the importance of astronomy in the state,&#8221; explains SPANET coordinator and astrophysicist Laerte Sodr\u00e9 J\u00fanior, director of the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (IAG-USP). About 160 researchers from various institutions in S\u00e3o Paulo are working in the field of astronomy. Together, they produce more than 500 scientific articles annually, about 2.2% of all the astronomy papers published worldwide per year. The impact of this output, measured by the number of citations, has been above the global average for the last five years. Many of these researchers collaborate with major international projects in the field, such as the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) in Chile, scheduled to start operating in 2022. SPANET aims to increase collaboration among astronomers in S\u00e3o Paulo by promoting courses, workshops, resource sharing, and infrastructure. As well as academic research, the network wants to encourage technology companies in S\u00e3o Paulo to participate in the development of astronomy instrumentation. They also plan to stimulate astrophysics and education projects across the state. &#8220;We will establish a strategy for each front: science, technology, and education,&#8221; explains Sodr\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"S\u00e3o Paulo Astronomy Network wants to unite astrophysicists","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[205,235],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-246941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-astronomy","tag-physics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246941"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=246941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
