CTA Consortium

The global group of institutes and scientists contributing to CTA

»CTA is a global effort with more than 1,500 scientists and engineers from about 150 institutes in 25 countries involved in directing CTA's science goals and array design.«

CTA Consortium

The CTA Consortium includes 1,500 members from more than 150 institutes in 25 countries. The scientists and engineers of the CTA Consortium devised the CTA concept more than a decade ago and have been the driving force behind its design. The Consortium has developed and detailed CTA’s key science goals (see “Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array“) and will be responsible for the science analysis and publication of scientific results of the Key Science Projects, ensuring that CTA produces legacy data sets and data products for use by the entire community. Consortium member institutes will make in-kind contributions to CTA construction and will support array commissioning and science verification and science operations.

 

The Consortium Speakers and Publications Office (SAPO) is responsible for reviewing all CTA publications and contributions to conferences (i.e. abstracts, talks and proceedings). Learn more about CTA publications in the Library.

 

 

The Consortium meets twice annually. The CTA Newsletter includes summaries of these meetings.
