Canary Global Foundation (CGF) advanced its commitment to global access in astronomy through collaboration with partners in Bolivia, supporting participation in observational programs at the Two-Meter Twin Telescope (TTT).
Through this collaboration, researchers and students gained structured access to telescope time, data, and scientific workflows, enabling direct participation in active research rather than passive learning. The initiative was aligned with CGF’s broader goal of reducing structural barriers to participation in frontier science.
This effort built on emerging programs such as Project ORBITA and reflects a growing model of international collaboration in which access to infrastructure is paired with training, mentorship, and integration into ongoing scientific work.
Why this matters
Expanding access to observational infrastructure strengthens the global scientific community and enables new perspectives in discovery. By connecting underrepresented regions to real data and instruments, CGF contributes to a more inclusive and distributed model of science.
What’s next
The collaboration will continue to develop structured pathways from training to research participation, including expanded access to observing time and joint scientific projects.
