The 2026 SKA Korea Winter Workshop will be held on the Yonsei University campus from Wednesday, December 16, to Friday, December 18. We look forward to your interest and participation.

Date & Time: December 16 Wednesday 1PM - 18 Friday 1PM

Venue: 연세대학교, 백양누리 B146, 곽정환 홀 / B146 Baekyangnuri, Kwak Joung-Hwan Challenge Hall, Yonsei University, Seoul

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the world's largest radio telescope. It is now being built and getting closer to its first science phases, while its precursor and pathfinder telescopes (MeerKAT, ASKAP, MWA) are already producing exciting new results. Korea is now formally joining the SKA Observatory, and the role of the Korean community keeps growing.

As Korea's part in the SKA becomes more active, the SKA Korea Winter Workshop 2026 aims to share the SKA science being done and planned in Korea, and to look for ways to connect with large international projects based on SKA precursors and pathfinders, including chances for postdocs and students to take part. Building on this, the workshop also aims to strengthen teamwork among Korean SKA groups and to discuss clear ways for students and early-career researchers to join international collaborations.

We especially encourage students in the SKA Korea funding programmes to present. Talks on new ideas, ongoing work, or early results are all welcome.
