In our paper we describe basic goals and characteristics of the presently constructed European F10.7 and F30 Indexes Monitoring System ROSIE, which in the final configuration will be dedicated to regular and continuous measurements of the F10.7 and F30 solar radio indexes. The University of Wrocław and the ITTI Sp. z o.o. in Poznań prepare the system to order of the European Space Agency (ESA). The ROSIE will ensure an independence of the European Union from external providers of the F10.7/F30 solar indexes data and will improve a space awareness of the Union’s institutions and agencies.

The monitoring station installed in the Astronomical Observatory in Białków near Wrocław will be equipped with the six-meter dish radio telescope and two fast digitisers/radiospectragraphs. Due to an uncomplicated scalability, the network of the observing stations of the fully-featured European F10.7 and F30 Indexes Monitoring System could be gradually extended to allow 24/7 observations.
