Astronomy Outreach of Kosovo is a non-governmental, nonprofit organization dedicated to research, public outreach, and political advocacy for projects related to astronomy, planetary science, and space exploration in Kosovo.[1] The aim of the organization is to develop and build the first observatory and planetarium in Kosovo.[2]

## History

The organization was founded in 2015 by Pranvera Hyseni.[3] Hyseni has a B.A. degree in geography from the University of Pristina and is a student of Planetary Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hyseni became interested in astronomy at a young age and founded the organization to spark interest among young people in Kosovo.[4] Astronomy Outreach of Kosovo has worked with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in Kosovo on bringing lecturers to public schools across the country.[5]
