The Western Cape Branch invites you to celebrate Project Management Day.The Western Cape Branch will be offering members a chance to attend a presentation by Meerkat Project Manager Willem Esterhuyse. This will take place at the SKA offices in Pinelands.

The SKA project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with a square kilometre (one million square metres) of collecting area.

The scale of the SKA represents a huge leap forward in both engineering and research & development towards building and delivering a radio telescope, and will deliver a correspondingly transformational increase in science capability when operational.
