  2. The Institute has its own legal personality and must conduct astrophysics research, spread astronomical knowledge, train scientific staff, manage observatories and build ties with the scientific community. It is governed by a Ruling Council (Consejo Rector), with a Director as its executive body.
  3. The Institute is funded through its own assets, loaned goods and paid services to third parties, and its contracts follow the rules for autonomous agencies, with some exceptions. For budget purposes it is treated like commercial or industrial autonomous agencies.

Two existing institutes are attached to it, and it takes over the commitments of the 1979 Agreement and Protocol.
