This researcher’s workshop aims to bring the community together to discuss the present and envision the future, building on the experiences and results of the last four years. CATA is an astronomical ecosystem where cutting-edge research, human capital development, science communication, and technological transfer coexist. Through this workshop, we seek to identify key challenges that can inspire and shape our next five years, and foster productive interactions between members to leverage our collective expertise, infrastructure, and data to achieve greater impact.
