中科院南美天文研究中心召开2018年理事会工作会议

2019年1月9日,中国科学院南美天文研究中心(简称南美天文中心或中心)2018年理事会工作会议在国家天文台顺利召开。南美天文中心副理事长、中科院副秘书长高鸿钧出席会议。中科院国际合作局局长、副理事长曹京华,条件保障与财务局局长郑晓年、前沿科学与教育局副局长黄敏,以及国家天文台、紫金山天文台、上海天文台、高能物理研究所、北京大学、清华大学、南京大学、中国科技大学、北京师范大学及云南大学等理事单位的有关领导和专家,及国科大国际合作处领导等共计40余人参加了会议。会议由曹京华副理事长主持。

理事会首先听取了中心的工作汇报。中心首席科学家黄家声汇报了中心在科研、人才培养、数据中心建设等方面的年度工作进展。中心主任王仲就中心建设概况、观测基地和科技园区规划,以及在智可持续发展等议题进行了汇报。理事会对南天文中心2018年的工作进行了审议,对中心2018年及过去五年来所取得的成绩给予了充分的肯定,并就中心存在的困难和问题进行了探讨。理事会还通过了国家天文台及南美天文中心提请理事会审议的其它有关事项。

南美天文中心是中科院实施发展中国家科教合作拓展工程,在境外设立的首个“海外科教中心”。2013年10月由白春礼院长在智利揭牌正式成立。运行五年来,在院领导和理事会的领导下,在各级部门的大力支持下,以及在中心团队的共同努力下,南美天文中心稳步发展,成果突出。特别是,2015年5月,李克强总理和智利总统见证了“国家天文台与华为公司、智利圣玛利亚大学共同建设中智天文大数据中心”的协议签署。2016年4月,智利总统签署法令,授予国家天文台及其在智代表中科院南美天文中心“在智国际科研组织地位”。2016年11月,习近平主席和智利总统共同见证了“国家天文台与智利北方天主教大学合作发展文特峰天文观测基地”的协议签署。2018年5月,经中科院院长办公会审议,启动了在智科技园区建设。南美天文中心在智利的良好发展,对促进我国天文及相关领域的发展有重要意义。有望将中心建设成为中科院在智利以及在整个南美洲深入开展科研合作的平台。
