Description
Organiser: Kathryn Hartley; co organisers: Aurelie Magniez, Deborah Malone
In this lunchtime panel discussion, we will bring together leading experts from academia and industry to discuss the future of UK astronomical instrumentation. Discussions will include the role of instrumentation in addressing key astrophysical challenges, such as probing the early universe, studying exoplanet atmospheres, and mapping dark matter. We will focus on emerging technologies, interdisciplinary collaborations and the current challenges in astronomical instrumentation. We will then open the floor to questions from the audience.
