Scientific paper
In 1998 the Ministry of the Flemish Community (Department Science) allotted a research grant in the framework 'Bilateral scientific and technological cooperation' to a project entitled 'Multi-site coordinated observing of short-period variable stars' to a consortium of four astronomical institutes, viz. Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Observational Astronomy), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Astronomical Institute), University of Cape Town (Department of Astronomy) and South African Astronomical Observatory. The project consolidates two decades of scientific collaboration between the Flemish and South-African partners in the field of small-amplitude short-period variables (beta Cephei, delta Scuti and rapidly oscillating Ap stars) and long-period pulsating stars (gamma Dor stars). The allotted grant intended to achieve co-ordinated multi-site observing of several key objects selected among some of the most interesting pulsating variable stars observable from the southern hemisphere. The purpose of the workshop was to comply with the Government's requirement to organise one scientific conference in Flanders, evaluate the scientific outcome of the project including a discussion of logistic elements, and initiate a broader debate on the impact of government funding on the very specific discipline to which our scientific activities belong, viz. multi-site coordinated observations of stellar variability.
