Organisation profile

Organisation profile

The division studies processes in and around stars, galaxies, planets, the Solar System and the Universe as a whole and develops instrumentation to observe these objects. We also study the Earth's atmosphere and it's interaction with space.

MISSION

Our mission is to discover, expand and communicate knowledge about astrophysics and atmospheric physics creating solutions for the benefit of society through excellence in natural and technical sciences.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):

  • SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being
  • SDG 13 - Climate Action
  • SDG 14 - Life Below Water
