Collaboration with Durham University, University of Edinburgh, University of Hertfordshire, University of Leeds, University of Manchester, University of Oxford and University of the Highlands and Islands.
This project aims to develop high tech skills using radio astronomy in a number of African countries. Radio astronomy encompasses all of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills that underpin the emergence of a strong developed economy. The modern astronomer needs knowledge in physics, mathematics, chemistry and computing. To develop, maintain and run radio telescopes and instrumentation requires key skills in technology and engineering.
