The European VLBI Network

The EVN is a collaboration of the major radio astronomical institutes in Europe, Asia and South Africa and performs high angular resolution observations of cosmic radio sources. An overview of the EVN can be found in our Introduction to the EVN. The EVN is a large scale astronomical facility that is open to astronomers from all over Europe and the rest of the world. Consult the EVN Call for Proposals for details on how to apply for observing time. You can consult the EVN User Guide for help with scheduling, observing and reducing EVN data.

EVN users can download their data from the EVN Data Archive. Data is made public once the 12-month proprietary period has expired. For more details, please read the EVN Data Access Policy.

The EVN, as a RadioNet Trans-National Access activity, acknowledges support from the European Commission's Sixth Framework programme under RadioNet.
