Sustainable Development Goals</h1> <p dir="ltr">The aims of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are to eradicate poverty, improve human lives, protect the environment, and ensure peace and justice, leading to a more sustainable future for all. These goals require all countries and stakeholders to work together to implement strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, address climate change and spur economic growth. </p> <p dir="ltr">With 16 Member States across Europe, along with the host and partner state of Chile and with Australia as a strategic partner, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) supports the achievement of the UN SDGs in their three different dimensions: economy, society and environment. Through ESO’s mission to design, build and operate observational facilities that help advance our knowledge of the Universe, and to foster international cooperation for astronomy, ESO has a role to play in achieving the goals and targets set by the UN by being a driver for scientific research and by supporting educational activities at all levels in a sustainable way. </p> <h2 dir="ltr">How does ESO contribute to tackling the UN SDGs?</h2> <p dir="ltr">There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which are described in full on a <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">dedicated UN website</a>. The goals that ESO contributes to are related to improving quality in education, striving for diversity, equity and inclusion within educational, science and engineering settings, goals related to technology, innovation, peaceful scientific cooperation, as well as environment and sustainability.

There is a wealth of scientific literature studying the impacts on light-polluted skies on human health. For instance, the <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2017/press-release/">2017 Nobel Prize of Medicine or Physiology</a>, was given to individuals whose discoveries suggest that the human body clock requires natural daylight rhythms and dark skies to function properly. Artificial light has been linked to low levels of human melatonin, which might lead to health risks. Moreover, scientific studies suggest that artificial light increases the risk of depression, sleep disorders, obesity and cancer.</p> <p dir="ltr">Further, the dark night sky is a source of awe, education, outreach and community, with stargazing having the potential to <a href="https://pureportal.coventry.ac.uk/en/publications/dark-nature-exploring-potential-benefits-of-nocturnal-nature-base-2">promote health and wellness</a> in society. Stargazing has shown to offer benefits to the human well-being by nourishing positive emotions and connectedness with nature. By actively advocating for the protection of the dark sky, ESO, in collaboration with other observatories and the Chilean government, is making its own small contribution to healthy lives across the planet.</p> <p dir="ltr">Read more about the topic and ESO’s initiatives under the <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/about-eso/dark-skies-preservation/">Dark and quiet skies preservation</a> page.</p> <h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Medical applications</strong></h4> <p dir="ltr">Through the EU-funded <a href="https://attract-eu.com/">ATTRACT</a> initiative, the German institute <a href="https://innofspec.de/en/">innoFSPEC</a>, is transferring the astronomical technology from the <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/vlt-instr/muse/">MUSE integral field spectrograph</a> on ESO’s <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/">Very Large Telescope</a>, into cancer <a href="https://phase1.attract-eu.com/showroom/project/disruptive-imaging-spectroscopy-for-minimal-invasive-cancer-diagnostics-3d-cancer-spec/">diagnostics tools</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr"> <div class="image-frame" > <a href="/public/images/juncher-telescope2/"> <img src="https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/juncher-telescope2.jpg" alt="The Milky Way above La Silla" srcset="/public/archives/images/medium/juncher-telescope2.jpg 320w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/news/juncher-telescope2.jpg 180w, /public/archives/images/newsmini/juncher-telescope2.jpg 60w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/juncher-telescope2.jpg 1280w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb700x/juncher-telescope2.jpg 700w, /public/archives/images/thumbs/juncher-telescope2.jpg 122w" /> <div class="legend-wrapper"> <div class="legend">The Milky Way stretches over the dark night sky at La Silla observatory.

Training is done through a broad range of programmes and initiatives, such as studentships, fellowships, internships and <a href="https://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/2022/SummerResearch2022.html">summer research programmes</a>. In the last decade, ESO has trained over 260 students in science and engineering from more than 40 countries. Over 90 interns in science communication, graphic design, astronomy, engineering and administration, and hosted over 150 postdoctoral fellows in astronomy and engineering from more than 30 countries. </p> <p dir="ltr">Through the <a href="https://supernova.eso.org/">ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre</a>, located in Garching, Germany, ESO promotes and increases scientific literacy in society and inspires children and aspiring youths to engage in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The facility hosts a planetarium and 2200m<sup>2</sup> exhibition space. Visitors can participate in planetarium shows, guided tours, hands-on educational workshops (for school classes) and a range of other cultural and scientific events. Since opening in spring 2018, the centre welcomes around 70000 people each year. Of those visitors, approximately 50000 watch a planetarium show, each show containing a live component encouraging and enabling visitors to explore the night-sky themselves. The extensive interactive exhibition is free of charge to visit and it is estimated that a further ca. 20000 visitors per year come solely to explore it. Ticket prices of all activities in the ESO Supernova are kept as low as possible to ensure inclusive education and promote lifelong learning for all.</p> <p dir="ltr">The education programme of the ESO Supernova is offered completely free of charge and available to all compulsory stages of education, from Kindergarten through to end of secondary education. Within the total annual visitor numbers, over 9000 of those are school pupils and their teachers, typically coming from more than seven different countries each year, engaging with at least part of the education programme. A further 350 teachers and educators are engaged annually in professional development activities.</p> <p dir="ltr">ESO also supports other organisations in their astronomy education endeavours by providing <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1901/">open source materials</a>, enabling facilities around the world to share the fascination of astronomy with as varied an audience as possible.</p> <p dir="ltr">In Chile, where our observatories are located, ESO funds post-doctoral programmes in astronomy at Chilean academic institutions and provides studentships at the ESO offices in Santiago for students enrolled in Chilean universities. After participating in these training programmes, these young professionals are well-equipped with a relevant set of transferable skills, such as in data science, programming, and/or machine learning. This makes it possible for them to transition on to careers in areas like space exploration, engineering, operations, information technology, education, business development, programme and project management, and media and communications. </p> <p dir="ltr">Furthermore, ESO also promotes quality education through making the observations conducted with its telescopes public. The petabyte-sized <a href="http://archive.eso.org/cms.html">ESO Science Archive</a> contains open data from ESO telescopes, which can be used for research, education or outreach purposes. ESO also has an extensive database of <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/images/">images</a> and <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/videos/">videos</a>. By making these materials available for free, ESO ensures that audiences everywhere, from teachers to children, can experience the wonders of the cosmos. </p> <p dir="ltr"> <div class="image-frame" > <a href="/public/images/upr_IMG_6222-CC/"> <img src="https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg" alt="Le tour de Supernova" srcset="/public/archives/images/medium/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 320w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/news/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 180w, /public/archives/images/newsmini/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 60w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 1280w, https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb700x/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 700w, /public/archives/images/thumbs/upr_IMG_6222-CC.jpg 122w" /> <div class="legend-wrapper"> <div class="legend">Visitors to the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre are seen here enjoying a tour through the exhibition.</div> <div class="credit"><strong>Credit:</strong> ESO/P.

As presented in the dedicated report <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/archives/brochures/pdfsm/brochure_0076.pdf">ESO’s Benefits to Society</a>, the economic impact by ESO can take place in different forms: from direct industrial return to suppliers, economic and innovation effects, to improved expertise and the creation of new jobs and multiplier effects in individual countries. For instance, for ESO’s upcoming <a href="https://elt.eso.org/">Extremely Large Telescope</a> (ELT), over 80% of the €1.3 billion development construction budget is being invested in contracts with the industry. These contracts are primarily distributed across ESO’s <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/about-eso/memberstates/">Member States</a>, providing significant industrial return to these countries, creating new jobs, and promoting the emergence of new technologies and expertise. </p> <h4 dir="ltr"><strong>Open data for Open Science </strong></h4> <p dir="ltr">ESO has driven the development of open data standards in astronomy and ethical review processes in science, and contributes to the concept of a <a href="https://eosc-portal.eu/">European Open Science Cloud</a>, an initiative on open access scientific data.
