- Belgium: Automated Meteor Observations at the Observatory of the University of Ghent
- One of the projects at the Observatory of the University of Ghent is the automated observation of meteors using radio techniques. The experimental setup consists in a sensitive receiver which is tuned to a distant broadcast station in the FM band.
- Belgium: The meteor science section of Urania, the public observatory of Antwerp
- Urania, the public observatory of Antwerp, has a rich history in visual meteor observing; thousands of observations in more than 25 years. Ongoing projects about meteor trains and unified meteor database (in cooperation with IMO). The website also includes information about the (now abandoned) pioneering backscatter radio meteor project Ramses and an overview of the meteorite collection on display at the observatory.
- Denmark: Meteor Section of the Astronomical Society (ASMS)
- The Astronomical Societys Meteor Section (ASMS) was established in 1987. The primary goal of the section is to gather observational data about meteors which can be used ion research concerning the formation and evolution of the Solar system. Such data include frequency, magnitude and apparant trajectories. In order to promote the primary goal, the section arranges observational projects and publishes manuals, information letters and data sheets.
- Finland: Meteor Section of the Astronomical Society (URSA)
- Meteor Section is one of the oldest sections in the Astronomical Society Ursa. It's main function is to act as part of the international meteor observing network and to popularise Meteor Astronomy. The section publishes observations and related discussions regularly in the Ursa Minor magazine (UMi) and spreads information on meteor phenomena in general. Meteor Section was officially founded in 1976, when several different astronomy activity groups were officially recognised as part of the society's functions. The first section leader Markku Lindqvist, held the helm until the end of 1970's. Globally, in those days, the most significant organization was BAA and some observing projects were accomplished by a handful of active section members. Seppo Salminen followed M. Lindquist as the section leader.
