  • Nine African countries to drive forward two radio astronomy projects

    March 29, 2015 Editor Comments Off on Nine African countries to drive forward two radio astronomy projects

    The meeting of the African partner countries in the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope programme in Pretoria on Wednesday was a success, South African Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor told Engineering News Online. “It went very well,” she said. “I think the strategy we have adopted, the MoU [memorandum of understanding], is a significant step forward in consolidating the partnership and advancing the work we need to do.” The African SKA partner countries are Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia. This was the second meeting of Ministers and high officials responsible for science and technology from the nine countries. One of the outcomes of the meeting was an agreement on the above mentioned draft MoU, on cooperation in radio astronomy. Although partners in the SKA, the nine countries do not yet have a formal framework for cooperation in the field.
