PI Contribution The Consortium of Universities for Goonhilly Astronomy (CUGA) works with the SME Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd. to develop radio astronomy capability at the Goonhilly site in Cornwall, UK. Each main partner has contributed £125k net either in cash or in kind. Oxford has contributed a C-band receiver and digital backed. Manchester are making available an L-band receiver. The 29 m class Ghy-3 dish has been refurbished and brought back in to use as a dual-purpose radio telescope and deep space communications dish. Leeds has contributed to the drive upgrades and peripheral components for the L-band receiver. There is an ambition to link them into the existing e-MERLIN network in the UK and EVN in Europe. UCLan joined the effort in 2018 and will provide and in-kind contribution of the mount for the L-band receiver on the Ghy-1 dish. In 2022 a Space AI Institute is being developed at Goonhilly where academics from CUGA can utilize the GPU cluster in the new data centre facility at Goonhilly and work on applied problems with space sector clients. Funds from ST/W507994/1 have been used to augment the GPU cluster and upgrade the digital back end for the radio telescope to enable maser monitoring.
Collaborator Contribution As above. University of Hertfordshire acts as the legal entity for CUGA.
Impact A JANET REACH grant has been awarded to GES Ltd, Adaptive Array Systems Ltd and CUGA to enable a datalink between Goonhilly and Jodrell Bank to allow the connection into e-MERLIN. Various joint outreach events have taken place.

Organisation Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution This partnership has come together to deliver training in radio astronomy to countries in Africa that are part of the African VLBI Network and African partner countries with South Africa in the SKA project. Hoare leads the project and the project is managed from Leeds. Leeds organised the recruitment of PhD/MSc students for UK partners.
Collaborator Contribution Staff from collaborating institutions are delivering some of the training in Africa. All UK partners will be hosting PhD or MSc students from the participating African countries.
Impact The collaboration has delivered an up-skilled cohort of young people with knowledge of radio astronomy, research and computing skills and an awareness of how these could translate in to the commercial sector, especially in the space sector. Links have been made between the academic institutions and the space industry in the UK and SA. Well-equipped computer labs have been established in each country. English skills have been provided where required. Collaborations at individual university level are being made between the six UK university partners and the six host sites for the in-country astrophysics training in African partner institutions. The partners were all part of the original application and all feed in to the development of the project over time via meetings at the DARA annual network meeting and Steering Committee meetings.

The partners were all part of the original application and all feed in to the development of the project over time via meetings at the DARA annual network meeting and Steering Committee meetings. Each partner has a collaborative agreement with the University of Leeds governing the relationship.

Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution This partnership has come together to deliver training in radio astronomy to countries in Africa that are part of the African VLBI Network and African partner countries with South Africa in the SKA project. Hoare leads the project and the project is managed from Leeds. Leeds organised the recruitment of PhD/MSc students for UK partners.
Collaborator Contribution Staff from collaborating institutions are delivering some of the training in Africa. All UK partners will be hosting PhD or MSc students from the participating African countries.
Impact The collaboration has delivered an up-skilled cohort of young people with knowledge of radio astronomy, research and computing skills and an awareness of how these could translate in to the commercial sector, especially in the space sector. Links have been made between the academic institutions and the space industry in the UK and SA. Well-equipped computer labs have been established in each country. English skills have been provided where required.
