If you have any questions about CSIRO's ASKAP and SKA industry engagement activity, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year Carole Jackson Industry Opportunities Register UpdatedA new version of the ASKAP Industry Opportunities Register is now available. The changes incorporated into this version (v3.0) include:
You're Invited to Attend SKA2010The SKA Project Development Office invites you to attend SKA2010, an international SKA science and engineering meeting, to be held in Manchester, UK, from 22 to 25 March 2010. SKA2010 will have a strong focus on system and sub-system engineering decisions, and design/science trade-off issues. The results of these discussions are likely to have substantial impact on the technical direction and procurement needs of the international project. Senior level engineers, technologists and project managers (max. two delegates per organisation) are encouraged to attend the full program of talks to assess the technical needs of the project, their potential engagement, and to contribute an industry perspective. Trade exhibition booths won’t be available, but there will be space for technically relevant posters and plenty of opportunity for delegates to network. Firms interested in sponsoring organised networking events, such as end-of-day refreshments, should contact Jo Bowler. Note that SKA2010 is separate to the international SKA Forum that will take place in June 2010. Australia's involvement in the SKA Forum 2010 will be coordinated by the Australian Government's Department of Innovation, Industry and Science and Research, and more details will be available closer to the event.
Fibre Optic Tender Coming SoonThe tender for the construction of fibre optic cable between Geraldton and the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory will be released by AARNet, acting as managing agent for CSIRO, within the next few weeks. Once the tender has been released a notice will be placed on the AusTender website and an alert will be sent to this mailing list.
