ANITA Mission Statement

The aims of ANITA are to facilitate theoretical astrophysics meetings, encourage nationwide collaboration, foster international links, encourage closer links between all branches of astrophysics research, and provide input into national policy.

The ANITA mission statement is to:

  • support development of the theoretical astrophysics community in Australia by facilitating communication and collaboration between theorists and providing a focus for the community;
  • raise the national profile of theoretical astrophysics, and raise the international profile of Australian theoretical astrophysics; and
  • promote linkage with the national astronomical community by assisting in the theoretical interpretation of observations; providing motivation for new observational programmes; and increasing scientific return from national investment in observational infrastructure.
