About ESO
Belgium was one of the five founding members of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It signed the ESO-convention more than 50 years ago (5 October 1962).
Belgian astronomers are continuously involved in this project and extensively use ESO facilities. They publish many scientific papers each year in specialised, refereed astronomical journals. There are currently around 20 Belgian nationals employed at ESO, around 10 in Garching, and the remainder at the Chile sites.
Furthermore, Belgium has contributed to many scientific and technological aspects of ESO. The largest Belgian contracts are related to the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) on the Chaijnantor plateau in the Chilean Andes, the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) on Cerro Paranal and the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) being built on Cerro Armazones, close to Paranal.
