Board Visit 

In May 2025, the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS) was honored to host its Advisory Board at NYU Abu Dhabi. Over two days, Board members joined faculty, researchers, and students, in presernations, they toured our state-of-the-art facilities, and conducted open Q&A sessions. The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for our team to reflect on recent achievements, share scientific highlights, and exchange ideas about the Center’s future. The Board shared feedback to CASS leadership after the visit.
