Who
We Are
AURA is a consortium of universities, and educational and other
non-profit institutions, that operates world-class astronomical observatories that we
term "centers." Our members are
33 U.S. institutions
and 7 international affiliates. We view ourselves as acting on
behalf of the science communities that are served by our centers,
and as trustees and advocates for the centers' missions.
Our mission statement: "To promote excellence in astronomical
research by providing access to state-of-the-art facilities."
