The DOT and SST teams work closely together. The DOT is operated from the Swedish building, where the teams share many facilities including the library, com- puters, communication, copier, kitchen, etc. DOT optics solutions were tested at the SVST (the SST’s predecessor until 2002). The DOT team supervised the construction of the SST turret drives and contributed SST xxxxxx hardware. SIU–ITA. The long-standing collaboration between team leaders Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (ten joint papers, frequent mutual visits) has been formalised in Rutten’s visiting professorship at ITA, with the intent to enhance observational expertise including DOT linkage. Two current ITA postdocs graduated at SIU. Xxxxxxxx has been member of a Utrecht PhD committee. ISP–ITA. There are strong research ties between ISP and ITA. For example, Xxxxxxxx was Xxxxxxxx’s PhD adviser; after Xxxxxx xxx xxx Xxxxx, also Xxxxxxxx (ESMN PhD student at ISP) will transfer to ITA as postdoc. ITA is a formal partner in the SST, having shared in the original SST investments and presently sharing in the SST exploitation through a specific ISP– ITA agreement. The ITA group is widening its scope by including La Palma observing and data analysis in its science program.
