Niels Bohr Institute for Astronomy, Geophysics and Physics

Niels Bohr Institute for Astronomy, Geophysics and Physics

The Niels Bohr Institute for Astronomy, Geophysics and Physics, as its name implies, is an institute for astronomy, geophysics, and physics research.

Niels Henrik David Bohr founded the Institute near the time when he was appointed a professorship at a University of Copenhagen establishment in 1916. In 1921, the Institute moved into new facilities near Fælledparken, but it is now spread over three main buildings, the H.C. Ørsted Institute, the Rockefeller buildings and the original buildings from 1921.

The Institute is comprised of seventy-six "scientific" staff members, seventy-four "technical" and "administrative" staff members, sixty-two doctoral students, and a number foreign researchers and students.
