SKA treaty signing
The Australian Ambassador to Rome, Dr Greg French, was Australia's signatory to the international treaty (the SKA Observatory Convention) which formally commits member countries to work together to provide the necessary funding and resources to make the SKA a reality. The Convention will still need to be ratified by the signatory countries, which is expected to occur over the rest of the year. Once five countries have ratified, including the three host countries, the SKA Observatory will officially come into being.
