Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley

The Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley (OAVdA) was opened in 2003. Scientific research, carried out since 2006, represents its most important and significant activity. In addition, the astrophysicists personally plan and lead the initiatives for schools and the public, based on the principle that there is an inseparable link between scientific research, teaching and dissemination: in fact, the research produces the original contents to be communicated through the activities of public outreach and education.
