SHARP (SHocks: structure, AcceleRation, dissiPation) project was coordinated by the Finnish Meteorological Institute and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The project started on January 1st, 2021 and ended on December 31st, 2023. The project was aimed at achieving a breakthrough in our understanding of collisionless shocks, which are one of the most powerful accelerators in the universe.
SHARP consolidated efforts of the world-leading experts in Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Israel and USA to gain new insights into the physics of shocks within our solar system and astrophysical shocks. One of the main outcomes of the project is an open-source shock database, which includes terrestrial shocks, interplanetary shocks and shocks at non-magnetized planets like Mars and Venus.
