Who We Are
CAASTRO is the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics.
By answering fundamental questions about the nature of the Universe, by developing innovative ways of processing enormous data-sets, and by providing a diverse set of opportunities for students and young researchers, CAASTRO aims to establish Australia as the world-leader in wide-field astronomy. CAASTRO is uniting the world’s top astronomers in a focused collaborative environment and is changing the way we understand the Cosmos.
CAASTRO is funded by a $20.6M grant from
the Australian Research Council (ARC), with
additional support from the six CAASTRO nodes
and from the NSW Government.
