SKA funds workshop at UKZN to train astronomy students

Leading astronomers from several international institutions will train a group of bright young astronomy students at an introductory radio astronomy school hosted by the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The SKA-funded workshop is aimed at preparing 40 South African undergraduate students in the methods required to work with data from the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) and the future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope. The SKA telescope will be built in South Africa and Australia by 2025 and will be the largest and most powerful telescope in the world.
