United Kingdom
The UK is home to the SKA Observatory’s international headquarters at the Jodrell Bank site in North West England.
As well as hosting the HQ, the UK is also making a major commitment to the construction and operation of the SKAO's telescopes.
The UK is contributing 15% of the cost of constructing the SKAO from 2021 to 2030 and is the largest contributor to the observatory. In addition, UK engineers, technologists and astronomers will be at the forefront of making the SKA project a success.
Scientists and engineers at UK universities and institutions are involved right across the design of the SKAO including from the Universities of Manchester, Oxford and Cambridge and from the UKRI STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory, STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and STFC’s UK Astronomy Technology Centre.
