The EurAstro Association




Introduction

EurAstro is an informal, nonprofit association for professional and amateur astronomers, based in Munich, Germany. EurAstro was created in 1998.
As of 10.02.2010, it comprised a cumulative total of 1118 past and present members, 887 of them being active Internet subscribers. In view of such a growth, it became necessary to delegate and to form local sections (see contact persons below).


EurAstro and the EPO Astro Club Munich

Many active EurAstro members work with the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich. The EPO has a social and cultural committee called the Amicale, which comprises a number of clubs such as the EPO Astro Club Munich (ASTRO for short) and the Amicale Astronomy Club (AAC) in The Hague.

Information: in addition to our internet site, specific information is provided via e-mail, specific brochures of the Amicale, the Yahoo! group of the AAC, and the French-speaking EurAstro blog.

The EPO (aka Europäisches Patentamt, EPA, or Office Européen des Brevets, OEB) has three official languages: English, German and French. ASTRO/EurAstro have a fourth official language: Italian.
