Commission facilitates the world’s largest and most powerful ground-based gamma-ray observatory, revolutionising our understanding of the universe
Yesterday, the European Commission established the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory European Research Infrastructures Consortium (CTAO ERIC). This Consortium will construct and operate the world's largest and most powerful ground-based gamma-ray observatory, making a significant milestone in global astro-particle physics.

Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, said:

“We are thrilled to announce the creation of the CTAO ERIC, a groundbreaking facility poised to deepen our understanding of the universe. This state-of-the-art centre will solidify Europe's leadership in the field of astro-particle physics, while also enhancing its role as a hub for international research collaborations. The establishment of the CTAO ERIC underscores the strength and potential of the ERIC model in fostering not only pan-European partnerships but also global scientific cooperation.”
