Meet our 2019 grantees
Sector: Science, Technology and Innovation
Country location: Australia, Republic of Korea
Grantee: ICRAR
Project description
Leading Astronomical institutions in Australia and Korea will come together for a series of workshops and long term exchanges of staff, to identify the most useful contributions we can make to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project.
Half of SKA will be hosted in Western Australia, and Australia is a core member of SKA. Korea is investigating the best ways to contribute. Together we will scope out some of the most beneficial areas where we can contribute, for future long term collaborations.
The focus will be on the Korean developments in antenna technology and Australian skills in large scale computer simulations. The combination of these two will lead to better designs of the ground-breaking experiments that the SKA will undertake.
