Australia has been shortlisted after a rigorous selection process as one of the two sites identified as potential locations for the SKA.

The principal collaborators in the Australian SKA project are the Australian Government, the State of Western Australia and Australia’s premier science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

Several Australian universities are also actively engaged, with other state governments likely to be involved in due course. International partners include the USA, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, India and several European countries.
