Description
The South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) provides state-of-the-art astronomy research facilities to the South African and global astronomy communities, primarily through its flagship project, the Southern African Large Telescope, but also through a unique suite of other telescopes and instruments. In addition, SAAO hosts a range of international projects, ranging from telescopes and instruments to the global office of Astronomy for Development and the African Astronomical Society. In this talk, I will present the current and future science projects underway at the SAAO, and touch on how these projects and the astronomy research they support contribute to South African society.
