Excellent news this morning, as Professor Tom Ray is appointed the next president of the ESO council
Congratulations to Professor Tom Ray, Director of our School of Cosmic Physics on his election to the Presidency of the European Southern Observatory @ESO Council. A fantastic achievement! Ireland joined ESO in 2018. @DeptofFHed @SimonHarrisTD dias.ie/?p=34551
We were honoured to host Professor Gregg Hallinan last night for the 2023 #McCreaLecture. He gave a fascinating talk on cutting-edge multi-messenger astronomy. Pictured: Professor Hallinan with event chair Dr Oisín Creaner #RIAPCMS @AstroSocIreland
Survey on Space Law in the EU: closes today. Please have your say! As astronomers, we should push for protection of dark skies as human heritage. There is strength in numbers, so please make time to complete this survey today. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bette…
