Funded Activity Summary
Australian Membership of the International Gemini Partnership. The International Gemini Partnership is an intergovernmental consortium that operates two 8-metre optical/infrared telescopes, in Chile and Hawaii. Australia joined the IGP in 1998, with 4.76% of the partnership. The Gemini telescopes have been carefully engineered to exploit the superb atmospheric conditions at both sites, allowing users to address key astronomical problems in ways not previously possible. Through membership of Gemini, Australian astronomers have access to the world-class facilities necessary to maintain their high international profile, and also to enhance the national capacity to construct advanced scientific instrumentation. Australian institutions are currently building two new instruments.Funded Activity Details
