Research
Tartu Observatory is an Estonian space centre whose main task is research and development. We train young scientists in astronomy, remote sensing, and space technology, and we are a recognised partner in international networks.
Studies
Tartu Observatory of the University of Tartu welcomes students interested in astronomy, environmental sciences, and space technology.
At Tartu Observatory, you can start an internship at either high school or university level. Often the internship turns into a research thesis.
Our researchers are available to supervise student theses at all levels of academic study. We also have a doctoral programme.
Tartu Observatory invites students and all other interested parties to participate in the MOOC course of the University of Tartu, where remote sensing tools are used to solve case studies.
On Monday, the opening ceremony of the 2022/2023 academic year takes place in front of the University of Tartu main building. Everyone is invited to rally in support of higher education funding.
