PROMISE
PROMISE was an European Research Council -funded research project dedicated to study the physical processes that regulate star formation in the interstellar medium. The project run between 02/2016 and 01/2021. The project started at MPIA (Heidelberg, Germany) and was transferred to be hosted by the Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden) in September 2017.
The group members and affiliates:
Jouni Kainulainen
Sara Rezaei Kh. (currently at MPIA)
Andri Spilker (funded by the Chalmers University of Technology)
Jan Orkisz (funded by Swedish Research Council and the Chalmers University of Technology)
