Aeronomy concerns the study of the atmosphere i.e., all atmospheres, terrestrial as well as… “extraterrestrial”, like the atmospheres around comets or other planets from the solar system in which similar phenomena we already know on Earth, may occur.
Extra terrestrial atmospheres can provide us with precious information about our own atmosphere, its history, its future and even about the origins of life on Earth!

Internships: Our team offers research internship opportunities for Bachelor's and Master's students. Applicants should have a clear interest in planetary aeronomy and a strong motivation for scientific research. Topics depend on ongoing projects and their development stage. Interested students may contact
The Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy is hosting the Europlanet AISBL, the legal entity for the Europlanet Society. In particular the Planetary Atmospheres research group is fully supporting the activities held within the Society as well as those of the Benelux Regional Hub.
