DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib\nThe Square Kilometre Area Observatory (
 SKAO) is since 2021 a new international organisation dedicated to radio-as
 tronomy.\nSince 2015\, the Swiss Community lead by EPFL has been following
  the project and on Jan 2022\, Switzerland has become the 8th full member 
 of this organisation. SKAO headquarters are located in Jodrell Bank near M
 anchester\, and the two telescope will be located in South Africa and West
 ern Australia. I will present SKAO in details and explain the challenges o
 f the project in particular linked to the huge amount of data (600 Pb/year
 )\, as well as radio-interferences from the future 5G satellite constellat
 ions.\n\nProf. Jean-Paul Kneib holds a Master in Astrophysics and Space Te
 chnology and a PhD in Astrophysics. He has worked as a support astronomer\
 , at ESO in Chile. He has conducted research in Gravitational Lensing and 
 Cosmology in Cambridge (UK)\, Toulouse\, Caltech and Marseille before comi
 ng to EPFL. He has worked with data coming from various space observatorie
 s (HST\, XMM-Newton\, Herschel\, ISO\, Chandra\, Spitzer\, WISE)\, and par
 ticipated in many space projects ideas (SNAP\, JDEM\, SPACE\, OMEGA\, CoWe
 X). He is currently strongly involved in the Euclid space mission.He has b
 een a member of the ESA Astronomy Working Group\, and of the Hubble Space 
 Telescope User Committee. Currently\, he serves on XMM-Newton\, Hubble an
 d James Webb Space Telescope time allocation committees.
