Top-class Open-base Planning project (T.O.P.)

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute has initiated the FMRG Program (First Mover Research Group) in 2015 for the promotion of research groups which are aiming to perform pioneering research of world-class level.

CosKASI was appointed as the first FMRG in 2015, and was awarded with the total ~ $6 M research support for 9 years from 2015 to 2023.

Following the successful performance of the FMRG project, Cosmology group was selected as a T.O.P. (Top-class Open-base Planning project) project with some increase in the budget and support for another 9 years from 2024 to 2032.

Participation in DESI, Rubin, SKA, 7DT

DESI

Faculty members of the Cosmology Group are official participants and are actively involved in various international and domestic collaborations, including DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), the Rubin Observatory (particularly through the Dark Energy Science Collaboration), the SKA (Square Kilometre Array), and 7DT (7-Dimensional Telescope).

Most postdoctoral researchers and students in the group are sponsored members of these collaborations and primarily work within these international projects.
