The general goal of the Centre for Astrophysics and Cosmology is to advance knowledge of the astronomical universe through research and education in astronomy and astrophysics. The centre carries out research on a range of problems in these fields, including theoretical studies, observations and computer modeling. At present the main fields of study are Gamma-Ray Bursts, their afterglows and their host galaxies. The emphasis is both on the observational and physical properties of these objects as well as their use in cosmological studies.
