Detailed Summary

DARA Astronomy Basic Training Programme Kenya Page 1 of 4 Introduction Africa is becoming the focus for the world of astronomy. Construction is underway of the mid-frequency dishes of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) – the next generation global radio astronomy facility in South Africa. There is an ambition to deploy further dishes in the eight SKA African Partner Countries (Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique and Mauritius). South Africa also hosts the South African Large Telescope (SALT), which with its 10 m diameter mirror is one of the largest optical telescopes in the world. To support the development of astronomy in Africa and ensure that opportunities in this area are open to African citizens the Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy project (DARA) is running a basic training programme, which offers the opportunity to become familiar with the basics of astrophysics and radio astronomy. Trainees will gain theoretical and practical experience in these skills, as well as advice on the industrial opportunities afforded by these new skills.
