46 Challenges Project selection Scientific interests, budget, your capability Engineer selection Senior vs new graduates How to keep the engineers? Low salary is always a concern Key technology selection Strong leader needed How to prioritize between technology development and projects? Distribution of resources 2015/11/18 NAOC 46

47 Summary Advanced astronomical instrumentation is important to the science breakthrough Instrumentation team serves for the scientists for the best possible technology Human resource is the key to the establishment of instrumentation capability The balance between the scientific investment and technology development is always a question to the research organization 2015/11/18 NAOC 47
