AST is a 6.5m optical and near-IR telescope. It will be constructed by 2023, and will be located in Ali, China. It will have a series of powerful instruments that are capable of doing sciences ranging from exoplanets to the distant objects in the early universe.
AST is in a planning phase. In order to bring together Chinese astronomers to seek close collaborations for AST, KIAA at PKU will host the first AST workshop. The details are provided below.
