Key Science Projects: • No4onal package of Key Science Projects developed in 2015 based on the highest priority science objec,ves that were recommended by the science community that were: • Consistent with capabili,es of the SKA1 design • Consistent with a realis,c observing schedule filled at approximately 50% for the first 5 years of scien,fic opera,ons • Indica,ve KSP policy (actual policy will be determined by SKAO Council) • Only scien,sts from SKA member countries may lead a KSP • KSP Leadership is guaranteed to be distributed amongst SKA members in propor,on to their financial contribu,on • KSP par,cipa,on (at the non-Leader level) is guaranteed to be distributed amongst SKA members in propor,on to their financial contribu,on • KSP par,cipa,on (at the non-Leader level) of SKA non-members is capped at the value defined in the Access Policy 12

KSPs: Next steps • Further develop KSP concepts • Regular workshops to provide a forum for open discussion of KSP concepts • Support development of poten,al KSP collabora,ons • There will ul,mately be a compe,,ve process of KSP proposal submission, evalua,on and alloca,on • Regular workshops to provide a forum for the key areas of interest of par,cular communi,es to be presented, leadership aspira,ons to begin to be iden,fied and resourcing strategies to begin development • Maximizing commensality • It is likely that the same data stream will serve mul,ple KSP or PI-led groups, each with limited data rights to address specific scien,fic objec,ves • Regular workshops to provide a forum for early discussion of support for such commensal programs, including the development of efficient survey strategies intending to maximise the scien,fic return of the KSP package 14
