 ed high-energy gamma-ray telescopes\, participation in the Cherenkov Teles
 cope Array Observatory (CTAO) has entered the hottest phase of constructio
 n. At this meeting\, we will discuss the Swiss contributions and the scien

 a Palma Canarian island and Chile for more than 60 telescopes. It will be 
 about ten times more sensitive than current instruments and have unprecede
 nted energy coverage and accuracy. CTAO should pursue to become an open-ac
 cess observatory of interest for the scientific community worldwide\nSwiss
  scientists from the University of Geneva\, EPFL\, ETHZ\, University of Be
 rn\, and the University of Zürich formed the CTAO-CH Collaboration. Their
  contributions to CTAO are described in their WhitePaper.\nThe University 
 of Zürich is one of the 3 Founding Institutes of the first interim legal 
 entity of the Observatory\, the CTAO GmbH\, and Switzerland will be Foundi
 ng Observers of the CTAO ERIC in its final phase of establishment. UNIGE\,
  UZH\, and ETHZ have been members of the CTAO Consortium since 2005. \nTh
 e CSCS\, our guest for this meeting\, is planned to be one of the CTAO Off
