Nordic Network of Astrophysics and Cosmology (NNAC)

The Nordic Network of Astrophysics and Cosmology (NNAC) is a network funded by NordForsk (the Nordic Research Board) under their network scheme for national centers of excellence in the Nordic countries. NNAC is funded for three years, 2008-2010.

The main national Centra of Excellence (CoE) included in NNAC are the Dark Cosmology Centre in Copenhagen, The High Energy Astrophysics and Cosmology Centre (HEAC) in Stockholm and the Centre for Applied Mathematics (CMA) in Oslo. Links to the homepages of these Centra are marked on top of this page. The network also have active connections to the Science Institute in Reykjavik, the University in AArhus and several other nodes.

NNAC is administered from DARK at the University of Copenhagen; and led by a steering committee of members from the network. The PI of the network is Jesper Sollerman.

More details of the purpose of the Network and names of the board members and individuals, can be found in the shortened version of the application. Here.
