The Paris Observatory fulfills three principal missions: research, teaching and public outreach. The research carried out at the Paris Observatory covers all the fields of contemporary astronomy and astrophysics. The Observatory develops and runs national and international services, and puts its expertise in the service of the major projects for obseving the Universe. It contributes thereby to the creation of large instrument (on the ground and in space), it participates in the important surveys, in the large simulations, in the virtual observatory, and is also involved in laboratory studies.
