Objects far away, hence appear small and faint

! Need for large instruments: resolution and sensitivity

■ 

Combining different types of observations crucial

! Images/spectra/time-series

! Other wavelengths: space observatories

■ 

Technology now available to

! Study objects over 95% of the age of the Universe

The Organization

■ 

Mission

! Develop and operate world-class observing facilities for astronomical research

! Organize collaborations in astronomy

■ 

This is achieved by

! Highly-skilled staff carrying out a multi-project programme

•  ~390 staff in Garching at Headquarters

•  ~300 staff in Chile at Observatory sites and Vitacura Office

! In-house science, engineering and support activities

•  Without these ESO becomes a management agency, the quality of the programme will suffer and support by the MS will decline

! Matched by additional effort in the Member States

•  In industry and in technical and scientific institutions

•  In good coordination with ESO

ASIAA, Taiwan, 5 May 2015

The ESO Model

■ 

Partnership with community is key to support

! Joint instrumentation development

! Public surveys, advanced data products, ALMA support

! Student and Fellowship programme

! Small telescope and experiments hosted on La Silla

■ 

Multi-project programme is cost-effective

! Re-use engineering skills, apply lessons learned

! Experience in working effectively with industry

■ 

Intergovernmental structure provides

! Support at highest government levels

•  Ministerial level and above in Member States and in Chile

! Budget stability and long-term planning ability

•  Contributions proportional to Net National Income

34

(35)

ASIAA, Taiwan, 5 May 2015

Long-term strategy for ESO

■ 

Moderate further growth in membership

! Countries with high-quality scientific communities that are keen to join, bring added value, and government support

■ 

Continue to operate and build world-class facilities

! Optical, radio and other ‘messengers’

•  CTA interested in siting Southern array in Paranal area

! Balance multi-purpose telescopes and experiments

! Can be ‘all-ESO’ or in partnership
