Community Updates & Feedback

The SKAO and the SKA Regional Centre Network (SRCNet) are committed to providing users with a high quality end-to-end user experience that enables the delivery of transformational science. As such, the quality of the data products (and their provenance), as well as the provision of resources, user tools, and training are of paramount importance. A close and continuing partnership with the user community is crucial to ensuring that the highest level of quality is achieved for all future users of the SKAO and SRCNet. 

A broad range of tools, pipelines, processes, and resources are actively being developed that will span the entire future SKA user experience. Community testing and early user feedback will be vital to the final development and deployment of these resources. Your opinions are extremely valuable and will ultimately ensure that we deliver an SKA that works for you and enables you do exceptional science.

We are collecting expressions of interest from those who would like to be testers and early users of these resources and provide feedback to the SKAO and SRCNet. Feedback will be sought through a variety of methods, and may include focus and beta testing groups, and feedback forms. An indication of your interest here is not a commitment of time or resources on your part.

To indicate your interest in community testing opportunities, please complete this form. We will use the information collected here to contact you about community testing or other feedback opportunities and to curate focus and beta testing groups, when appropriate. 

Both the SKAO and SRCNet are developing plans to allow the community to stay up-to-date with progress. To indicate your interest in receiving notifications of public-facing informational or state-of-development materials, please complete the first part of this form. You are able to register your interest in receiving updates with or without indicating interest in community testing opportunities.
