關於TARA
台灣天文研究聯盟（TARA）是由原台灣天文觀測實施平台（TAOvA）擴展而成的新組織，旨在推動台灣天文學的發展，並為建立國家天文台鋪路。TARA的使命包括科學推廣、社區服務、人才培訓以及對鹿林天文台、墨西哥2米光學望遠鏡、阿塔卡瑪大型毫米及次毫米波陣列（ALMA）、和巨型麥哲倫望遠鏡（GMT）的運營和技術支持。TARA目前的成員來自多個機構，通過整合資源和技術力量，推動天文學領域的創新和突破。
TARA致力於成為台灣天文學研究和國際合作的核心平台。隨著天文學研究日益依賴高靈敏度儀器和優越的觀測地點，TARA將以整合現有項目和制定戰略發展步驟為目標，為台灣天文學界提供更好的科研和觀測條件。我們誠摯邀請有志於天文研究的您加入我們，共同探索宇宙的奧秘，並推動天文學在台灣和國際上的進一步發展。下方的組織圖可讓您更清楚地了解TARA的結構。
The Taiwan Astronomical Research Alliance (TARA) is a newly expanded organization from the original Taiwan Astronomical Observatory Alliance (TAOvA), aimed at advancing astronomy in Taiwan and paving the way for the establishment of a national observatory. TARA’s mission includes science promotion, community service, talent training, and providing operational and technical support for Lulin Observatory, the 2-meter optical telescope in Mexico, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), and the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). Current members of TARA come from various institutions, pooling resources and expertise to drive innovation and breakthroughs in the field of astronomy. To gain a clearer understanding of TARA’s organizational structure, please refer to the organizational chart below.
TARA is dedicated to becoming the central platform for astronomical research and international collaboration in Taiwan. As astronomical research increasingly relies on highly sensitive instruments and prime observation sites, TARA aims to integrate existing projects and develop strategic steps to enhance Taiwan’s research and observation capabilities. We sincerely invite those passionate about astronomy to join us in exploring the mysteries of the universe and further advancing astronomical science in Taiwan and beyond.
