About
Description
ICRAR, the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, is a renowned research institution specializing in science, engineering, and data-intensive astronomy. Established in 2009, ICRAR was created to support Australia's bid to host the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the world's largest radio telescope. With research nodes at Curtin University and The University of Western Australia, ICRAR is a joint venture supported by the State Government of Western Australia.
Over the years, ICRAR has played a vital role in the development of the SKA project, securing Australia's position as the host country. Their efforts include strengthening radio astronomy capabilities, collaborating with the WA Government and mining sector to secure a radio quiet site, and contributing to the international collaboration funding and constructing the SKA. ICRAR's success is evident in its global reputation, ranking among the top 5 university-based radio astronomy research centers worldwide.
The institution has attracted leading researchers from around the globe and nurtured over 30 early-career staff to become world-class researchers. Additionally, ICRAR focuses on promoting radio astronomy and fostering an international profile through community outreach and education programs. They actively engage with industry and the astronomical community, working closely with organizations such as CSIRO, the Australian Telescope National Facility, and the Pawsey Centre.
ICRAR's mission encompasses its involvement in the SKA project, the contribution to scientific and technical programs, the creation of collaborative environments, and the enhancement of Australia's position in the international astronomy community. Through public outreach, educational initiatives, and partnerships with educational organizations, ICRAR aims to create scientific, technical, commercial, and educational opportunities. They support emerging and top-level scientists and technologists in the field of radio astronomy and make world-class contributions to SKA science and capability.
With a comprehensive range of expertise and a commitment to continuous advancements in radio astronomy, ICRAR is at the forefront of cutting-edge research and innovation
