European Southern Observatory Appointment
Professor Paul Callanan, School of Physics has been appointed to the Council of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, as the Irish (Scientific) Council member.
The ESO is currently building in Chile what will be the largest optical/IR telescope in the world - the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).
The European Southern Observatory enables scientists worldwide to discover the secrets of the Universe for the benefit of all. They design, build and operate world-class observatories on the ground.
The ESO is an intergovernmental organisation established in 1962 supported by 16 Member States, their host country Chile and strategic partners. ESO brings together over 750 staff from more than 30 countries, and countless more collaborators worldwide, all driven by the passion to build the best telescopes, serve the community and benefit society.
