Organised at the initiative of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Specialised Commission (CSAA), the conference aimed to bring together all the communities likely to benefit from SKAO data, extending well beyond the field of radio astronomy alone. Discussions focused on the scientific opportunities offered by this next-generation global infrastructure, as well as the technological challenges associated with processing unprecedented volumes of data.
Hosted at the Paris Observatory-PSL, the meeting also brought together several leading international figures from the SKAO. It demonstrates the strong commitment of the French community as the observatory’s gradual commissioning approaches, and its determination to play a major role in this scientific venture at the interface of astrophysics, digital technology and high-performance computing.
