The Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA) is a Research institute in Teruel, Spain. Established in 2009 as a private foundation of public initiative[1] by the Government of Aragon. Besides research in astronomy, and leading several large astronomical surveys, CEFCA is the operator of the Astrophysical Observatory of Javalambre (OAJ, recognized as a Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure by the national government). The primary research interests at CEFCA are in Stellar evolution, Time-domain astronomy and Galaxy evolution.
History[edit]
CEFCA was officially established in January 2009[1] with Mariano Moles Villamate as the founding director with XXXXX staff.
The founding of CEFCA is intertwined with that of the OAJ, see the history of OAJ for more.
Some key dates in CEFCA’s history include:
- XXXXX XXXXX: CEFCA moved to its current location (in Teruel’s Plaza San Juan).
- November 2016, Javier Cenarro Lagunas became the director.
Location[edit]
CEFCA is geographically located in the following installations within the Province of Teruel.
Organization and administration[edit]
Academics[edit]
CEFCA’s academic activity can be classified in the following fields
Gradate program[edit]
CEFCA’s graduate program is composed of muliple levels:
- M.Sc summer internship: CEFCA provides funding for M.Sc students from any Spanish university to stay in Teruel for July and August to conduct a short research project with CEFCA’s research staff.
- M.Sc final project: this is a one-year project conducted by M.Sc students in Spain. CEFCA’s research staff propose research topics for the students of any Spanish university. The students conduct their research in their host university, but under the supervision of the CEFCA research staff.
- PhD program: A number of PhD students from any university are regularly funded and trained by CEFCA for the full 4-year period of a PhD course in Spain and are based in Teruel. Previous universities that CEFCA has cooperated with for this purpose include University of Zaragoza and Complutense University of Madrid.
