ACAMAR is a joint China-Australia research centre between the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, the Australian Department of Industry, Science
and Resources (DISR) and Astronomy Australia Limited (AAL) which has
been set up to collaborate on areas of common interest within
astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. ACAMAR aims to build upon
existing arrangements to maximise the scientific return on investment
in astronomy infrastructure, develop human capital in the field of
astronomy, and enhance our common scientific understanding of the
universe. ACAMAR collaborates on a range of projects including those
connected with FAST, SKA and Antarctic astronomy. The 9th ACAMAR
Workshop on Astrophysics, being held this week in Perth, is the first
time the two communities have been able to meet in person for several
years due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, with the option to join
virtually also available. The image above shows Lister
Staveley-Smith, Chair of the ACAMAR Australian Advisory Board, opening
the meeting.
