The IAC aims to attract front-line staff with the aim of continuously developing its own research and technological lines or new topics arising in the fields of observational, theoretical and instrumental astrophysics, as well as technological deverlopements and carrying out support tasks.
The IAC has been designated a ‘Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence’ a prestigious recognition awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Research, Innovation and Universities to the IAC as a leading research institute in Spain, representing a world leading institution and a clear example of the quality and relevance of the pioneering scientific research carried out in Spain for the period 2012-2019.
As well as this, IAC has been awarded with the "Human Resources Strategy for Researchers" Award (HRS4R) from the Europea Commission and we are now carrying out the Implementation Phase.
