EURONEAR

Minor planets discovered: 255 (DISCSTATUS May 2019) ^[1]
see § List of discovered named minor planets

EURONEAR, the European Near Earth Asteroids Research, is a research project and network for the research and discovery of near-Earth objects and potentially hazardous asteroids using existing telescopes located in both hemispheres available to the members of the network.^[2] The Minor Planet Center directly credits EURONEAR with the discovery of few hundred minor planets since 2008, including 11 near-Earth asteroids.^[1]
