  abstract = {{C}ontext. {U}ntil recently, camera networks designed for monitoring fireballs worldwide were not fully automated, implying that in case of a meteorite fall, the recovery campaign was rarely immediate. {T}his was an important limiting factor as the most fragile - hence precious - meteorites must be recovered rapidly to avoid their alteration. {A}ims. {T}he {F}ireball {R}ecovery and {I}nter{P}lanetary {O}bservation {N}etwork ({FRIPON}) scientific project was designed to overcome this limitation. {T}his network comprises a fully automated camera and radio network deployed over a significant fraction of western {E}urope and a small fraction of {C}anada. {A}s of today, it consists of 150 cameras and 25 {E}uropean radio receivers and covers an area of about 1.5 x 10(6) km(2). {M}ethods. {T}he {FRIPON} network, fully operational since 2018, has been monitoring meteoroid entries since 2016, thereby allowing the characterization of their dynamical and physical properties. {I}n addition, the level of automation of the network makes it possible to trigger a meteorite recovery campaign only a few hours after it reaches the surface of the {E}arth. {R}ecovery campaigns are only organized for meteorites with final masses estimated of at least 500 g, which is about one event per year in {F}rance. {N}o recovery campaign is organized in the case of smaller final masses on the order of 50 to 100 g, which happens about three times a year; instead, the information is delivered to the local media so that it can reach the inhabitants living in the vicinity of the fall. {R}esults. {N}early 4000 meteoroids have been detected so far and characterized by {FRIPON}. {T}he distribution of their orbits appears to be bimodal, with a cometary population and a main belt population. {S}poradic meteors amount to about 55% of all meteors. {A} first estimate of the absolute meteoroid flux (mag < -5; meteoroid size >=similar to 1 cm) amounts to 1250/yr/10(6) km(2). {T}his value is compatible with previous estimates. {F}inally, the first meteorite was recovered in {I}taly ({C}avezzo, {J}anuary 2020) thanks to the {PRISMA} network, a component of the {FRIPON} science project.},
