Description

After more than 30 years of talking, the construction of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is now well underway. In this talk, I will give a update on construction, science verification, and what this stage of project development means for the Dutch astronomy community. In particular, I will focus on the establishment of our own regional centre, and its expected role in the community. NAC is the ideal forum to present this information considering the community investment in the project and the current important developmental stage the SKA.
