National politicians have confirmed the country will participate in the European programme, making it the twelfth member state to contribute to the telescope.

Denmark’s participation will be financed in part by the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education. Further contributions will be made by three Danish institutions: the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University and the Technical University of Denmark.
