Eligibility Note Projects should include international participants and are expected to involve astronomers from at least three of the seven European countries that are signatories to the Agreements for Cooperation in Astrophysics, namely Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, Spain and the UK. Astronomers from scientific institutions from any other country in the world can be included.

The International Scientific Committee (CCI) of the Canary Islands Observatories invite applications for their international time programme. This enables researchers to access certain telescopes installed at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory, which includes the Liverpool Telescope and the Teide Observatory. The aim of this programme is to encourage international scientific projects that cannot be easily accommodated within other time allocation schemes and that foster collaboration between the different user institutions at the observatories. Observing programmes should concentrate on a single astronomical investigation. Proposals that would benefit from the use of more than one facility, and in particular those that would be unlikely to obtain the necessary large amount of observing time due to the difficulty to coordinate several telescopes, are particularly encouraged.
