The Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA), situated in Svein Rosseland's house at Blindern Campus, was founded in 1934 by Professor Rosseland with financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation.
Research at the institute encompasses several fields within astronomy and astrophysics, and utilizes both theory, observations and extensive computer simulations. The scientists at the institute also have access to several observatories around the world, hold powerful computational resources, and are engaged in a vast network of international collaborators.
