IEEC
Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia
Research from and of space
The Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) was created in 1996 to foster space R & D in Catalonia. Our aim is to develop basic knowledge and to develop new technologies that put Catalonia at the cutting edge of international research.
Research at IEEC
The IEEC is focusing its efforts in studying the Earth as a planet (atmosphere, oceans, crust, etc) and the Cosmos (solar physics, planetology and interplanetary medium, stellar and galactic astrophysics, cosmology, fundamental physics, astroparticle physics, etc) using space platforms. This work is complemented with the vigorous program of theoretical, experimental / observational and numerical modeling activities to obtain the maximum profit of the data. Furthermore, the IEEC is also involved in the definition and construction of ground based instruments with the purpose to give support to the space activities and to acquire new skills able to be used in space activities.
