The astronomy community in Taiwan has been growing. With an influx of talented new faculty members, at the moment there are about a dozen institutions active in astronomy or astrophysics related research. The following figure shows the demographical distribution of astronomers in Taiwan at the end of 2022, and it is expanding rapidly.

While individual scientists are pursuing their own niche topics, many with international partners, some coordination of financial and human resources is desirable so as to facilitate further advancements. The following figure illustrates the optical telescopes larger than 2 m in aperture in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n

TAOva (Taiwan Astronomical ObserVatories Alliance) is a collaborative platform of observing facilities of the community. Funded by the NSTC (National Science and Technology Council), the consortium aims to coordinate resources of existing radio and optical\/infrared telescopes for optimal use, providing users supports in preparation of observing proposals, in data processing, thereby promoting collaboration in science and engineering developments. The platform also offers information or labor sharing to organize outreach activities, workshops, summer\/winter student internship, and to hold forum events to discuss the next major projects of interest to the community, including but not limited to partnership in giant optical\/infrared telescopes, high-energy space instruments, or gravitational wave detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAOvA, currently operated from 2022 November to 2025 August, consists of three major programs. In addition to the community events at large outlined above, there are (1) the financial support to operate Lulin Observatory, which hosts equipment items for astronomical, environmental, atmospheric, space, and earth sciences., and (2) initial funding for the 2-m telescope in Mexico in exchange for community observing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
