1 Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) Institut d Aéronomie Spatiale de Belgique (IASB) Belgisch Instituut voor Ruimte-Aeronomie (BIRA) BIRA-IASB, an (inter)nationally renowned partner in atmospheric research Jean-Claude Gérard Université de Liège Chairman of the Science Committee of the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy
2 International collaborations Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
3 Colleagues with non-belgian nationality Current legislagon limits hiring foreign colleagues speaking no French nor Dutch Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
4 A few major achievements Major advances in the fields of aeronomy and space physics were and are being accomplished by sciengsts of the insgtute. To quote only a few (non- exhausgve list): Photochemistry of stratospheric ozone and elucidagon of the source of OH nightside IR emission Airglow layer O 3 + H à OH* + O 2 Bates- Nicolet mechanism Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
5 A few major achievements ProducGon and loss processes of electrons and ions in the ionosphere The presence of free electrons in the upper atmosphere plays a key role in the propagagon of radio signals Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
6 A few major achievements Structure of and processes occurring in the solar solar and at the plasmapause He + ions in EUV solar radiagon made visible The existence of a helium layer was predicted at BIRA- IASB and later confirmed by satellite measurements Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November

22 Budget from international cooperative projects 2013 Drop in the relagve importance of insgtugonal funding (dotagon- dotages) 88,30% Dotaties - Dotation Eigen middelen - Subventions 11,41% Eigen opbrengsten - Recettes propres 0,29% % 82% 82% 13% 0,06% 18% 0,13% 18% 0,11% Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
23 Some personal thoughts IASB- BIRA is very highly regarded among the nagonal and internagonal community. I believe its future is bright if they are supported to congnue their research acgvity. Funding sources tend to be more and more oriented toward guided research, which leave ligle freedom to explore new fields. This guidance is necessary for space projects requiring expensive experimental developments and infrastructures, but in the long run, they should not kill personal or team inigagves. Efforts have been made to encourage sciengfic collaboragons between BIRA- IASB and university teams (BRAIN projects for example). I am convinced that this line needs to be encouraged in the future as they benefit to both sides. Jean- Claude Gérard, Academic session 50 years of BIRA- IASB Brussels, 25 November
