Lund Observatory is a network of professionals in southern Sweden - mainly from Lund University, but also from Malmö University, The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), as well as private companies and organizations - working within astronomy, space research and/or space technology.
Events organized by network members are often aimed at the professionals within the network but many of these events are open to a wider audience with interest in space research or technology.
