Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique, Radio astronomy research center in Saint-Martin-d'Hères and Grenoble, France

The Institute of Millimeter Radio Astronomy operates advanced telescopes and instruments for studying cold matter, molecular gas, and cosmic dust in space.

Founded in 1979, IRAM emerged from a partnership between French CNRS, German Max Planck Society, and later incorporated Spanish National Geographic Institute.

Scientists from France, Germany, and Spain collaborate at IRAM facilities to conduct research on distant galaxies and celestial phenomena.

The institute maintains laboratories in Grenoble for technical development while coordinating observations through its astronomical facilities at high altitudes.

IRAM's specialized equipment allows astronomers to detect radiation from the coldest objects in space, which remain invisible to traditional optical telescopes.
