CHIANTI is an ongoing collaboration involving the Naval Research Laboratory (USA), the
University of Florence (Italy), the University of Cambridge and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
(United Kingdom). This collaboration is made possible only with the help of both individual
scientists outside the CHIANTI consortium, and funding agencies in the United States and Europe.
