Pour la France notre ami Nicolas Chaillet, qui fut en son temps Directeur de FEMTO-ST à Besançon puis Président de la COMUE UBFC avec qui j'ai eu plaisir à collaborer, est impliqué dans SKAO.
Peut être pourra-t-il nous faire une conférence à la SAB ?

“With a very active research community in the field of astronomy and astrophysics, France has been highly interested in the development of the Square Kilometre Array since its inception. SKA has been on the French roadmap for research infrastructures since 2018. The “Maison SKA-France”, with the CNRS as lead partner, gathers seven public research institutions and seven industrial companies. The five-year report on the French strategy in astronomy and astrophysics conducted by the CNRS in 2019 confirmed the very high priority given by French astronomers to participate in SKA. Currently an observer on the organisation’s Council, France is now engaged in the process of applying for membership in SKA Observatory, with the aim of submitting its membership application to the Council’s vote in the coming months. We are very enthusiastic to start this process, and congratulate the SKA teams and partners on the impressive work that has been achieved so far for a project that will produce revolutionary work in many fields.”
