During the cosmic era of maximum star formation, radio sources show a broad range of star formation activity in their host galaxies. We aim to check the hypothesis that the star forming intensity is controlled by the environment of the radio sources. This is important for understanding the physical processes that turn star formation on (mergers) and off (AGN-driven quenching).Using the Herschel and Spitzer Space Telescopes, we have mapped the complete 3CR sample of 64 radio galaxies and quasars at high redshift (1
