ASTRO 3D - ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions

The ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D) commenced in July 2017 and is a REsearch Centre of Excellence led by the Australian National Univeristy (ANU) from its Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Mt Stromlo. The Centre is comprised of six collaborating universities - ANU, the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, Swinburne University of Technology, the University of Western Australia and Curtin University. We also have world-class Australian and International parnters, including CSIRO, AAO, NCI, Caltech, University of Washington, University of Toronto, Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and University of Oxford. The Centre has been funded over seven years with a $30.3m grant from the Australian Research Council, $8.4m in cash from the six Australian universities and $144m of in-kind resources from across the collaborating and partner institutions. Our Vision is to unlock the mysteries of the Universe using innovative 3D technology and wonder of astronomy to inspire the broader community. Our Mission is to propel Australia to the forefront of astronomical research by combining Australia's radio, optical and theoretical expertise to understand the origins of our Universe and the galaxies within it. We will train future Australian astronomers to lead breakthrough science on the next generation of telescopes. We will also share our discoveries and passion for research with the broadest possible audience and inspire the scientists of the future.
