The Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS), a Norwegian Centre of Excellence financed by the Research Council of Norway over a period of 10 years, is part of the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo. It is housed in Svein Rosseland's building. Rosseland was an internationally renowned Norwegian astrophysicist and founder of the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Oslo.

The primary goal of RoCS is to understand the workings of the energetic Sun. To achieve this goal a concerted effort of numerical modelling, both fluid and particle oriented, is combined with high quality observations, taken at ground-based and space-based observatories, to produce models of the active Sun.
