The Nançay Radio Astronomy Facility is jointly operated by the Paris Observatory (Observatoire de
Paris), by the National Research Council for Scientific Research (Centre national de recherche scientifique -
CNRS), and by the University of Orléans. In 2009, Nançay was one of the three founding laboratories of a new
research institute called the Observatoire des sciences de l’Univers de la région centre (OSUC).
