14th European Lunar Symposium (June 16-21), Dumfries, Scotland.
We’re delighted to be hosting the lunar community in beautiful Dumfries and Galloway and would like to draw your attention to two important events on the 22nd of February: 1) an online information session and Q&A at 3:45 pm GMT and 2) extended abstract submission deadline.
1) The online session (3.45 GMT): We’ll introduce you to the region and tell you why it’s a perfect fit for ELS, giving you a sense of what to expect from the exciting programme we have lined up. You’ll also have a chance to meet some of the key partners involved in the event, and a chance to ask any questions.

IAU Symposium 385 “Astronomy and Satellite Constellations: Pathways Forward”. La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
October 2 – 6, 2023
The symposium is planned as a dedicated space where astronomers, industry, space lawyers and other interested stakeholders can share the current status of their work with respect to large satellite constellations and their impact on astronomy and the night sky. Through presentations, and panel discussions and networking, the current status of studies, observations and mitigations will be explored and gaps addressed to help define further the pathways forward. See https://research.iac.es/congreso/iaus385/ for the full information, including registration, abstract submission and fees payment.
Roman Science Inspired by Emerging JWST Results
20-23 June 2023 at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD, USA. The meeting is hybrid.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will provide a simultaneous field of view 100 times larger than that of JWST and 200 times larger than that of HST+WFC3/IR, a sensitivity and resolution similar to that of HST, and incredible survey speeds. The first year of science from JWST is already providing transformative scientific results on a wide range of topics that are relevant for Roman and that are synergistic with Roman’s survey capabilities. Together, Roman and JWST will operate in tandem not only with Hubble, but also with Rubin, Euclid, and other ground-based and space-based facilities of the 2020s.
This conference will focus on how emerging results from JWST are reshaping the scientific landscape and how this impacts the planning for Roman surveys. In concordance with the broad range of astrophysics addressed by both missions, we welcome contributions on all scientific topics connected to this theme, from solar system objects and exoplanets, to nearby galaxies, to the search for the first stars and galaxies, and everything in between.
The meeting is hybrid: we will welcome participants in person in the Muller Auditorium in Baltimore, are planning an active virtual participation option, and will be live-streaming presentations. A Science Writer’s Workshop will occur concurrent to the science program as well as a coordinated Public Lecture (also live streamed).

PLATO Stellar Science Conference
26-30 June 2023, Milazzo, Italy
The ESA PLATO mission is expected to be launched by the end of 2026. In this context, the PLATO Stellar Science Conference (PSSC23) is part of the overall effort to prepare the mission, the exploitation of the forthcoming data, and thus to optimise the scientific return of the mission. The conference will befocused on the mission’s core programme, dedicated to F7 to M dwarfs main-sequence and sub-giant stars. The programme will also address the scientific calibration stars of the core programme, in particular, red-giant stars, gamma Doradus stars, and eclipsing binary stars. For further scientific and practical details, please go to the webpage: https://plato-stesci2023.sciencesconf.org The registration will be open in the beginning of February 2023. However, in order to help the organisation, we kindly ask you to fill the pre-registration form: https://evento.renater.fr/survey/pre-registration-to-plato-stellar-science-conference-2023-pssc23-a9pf2vqg that you can also find on the web page of the Conference.
Year 2022
Planetary Systems: The Young Solar System, ICISE, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
June 5-11, 2022
Focus: Our goal is to host a highly interdisciplinary mid-sized meeting of broad scope with highly acclaimed key speakers of international standing. We aim to unite ourselves to discuss barriers to progress, propose solutions and identify and foster future collaboration that will advance our understanding of the young solar system. We intend to formulate a coherent and scientifically sound story on the birth and evolution of the young solar system.
Deadline for submission of the oral & poster abstract: 1 April 2022.
Deadline for registration: 1 May 2022. Find out more>>
Synergy of Small Telescopes and Large Surveys for Solar System and Exoplanetary Bodies Research
August 2-11, 2022
A Focus Meeting to be held at the XXXI IAU General Assembly in Busan, the Republic of Korea on August 2-11, 2022.
This Focus Meeting within two days, August 4 and 9, will promote the complementarity of large astronomical surveys and astronomy done with small telescopes (up to 2 m diameter). It concerns, in particular, the application of big data methods to modern and past sky surveys, small telescope data archives. Contemporary and prospective sky surveys (Gaia, TESS, LSST, etc.), radar, space-borne data allow using these highly accurate measurements for calibrating data measured at the small telescopes, revealing their potential in time-domain planetary sciences.
It is important to note that the registration and abstract submission have to be done solely through the XXXIst IAU General Assembly website following the General Assembly deadlines, https://www.iauga2022.org.
- early-bird registration ends on February 28;
- regular registration ends on May 31;
- abstract submission for invited/contributed talks terminates on March 31;
- abstract submission for e-talks/e-posters terminates on May 31.
