European Northern Observatory
  • 1979 Starting point of the internationalisation
    of the IAC observatories
  • Over the last 30 years more than sixty research
    institutions from 20 countries have installed
    their telescopes and instruments here.
  • The construction and operation of these
    telescopes and instruments are a driving force
    for sustainable regional socio-economic
    development

Future continue building the bridge to European
convergence
  • Advanced socio-economic analysis of the impact of
    the construction and operation of next-generation
    Extremely Large Telescopes, funded by the Spanish
    Ministry of Education and Science.
  • Future candidates for this Observatory include
  • 40m E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope)
  • 2.5m EST (European Solar Telescope)
