This meeting is the last in a series of technical workshops combining several aspects of engineering and operational issues at radio observatories all over Europe and beyond. A Code of Conduct for ESO Workshops & Conferences is now in place for all meetings at ESO that involve external participants. The next few decades saw consolidation with Saha' theory of ionization in 1920 leading to Payne's affirmation that the stars are predominantly hydrogen in 1925, Gamov's calculations of quantum mechanical tunnelling in 1925 leading ultimately to the nuclear fusion reactions we understand today. It turns out that this is an interdisciplinary endeavour, requiring knowledge of supernovae explosions, meteorites, cosmochemistry, structure and evolution of circumstellar discs, star cluster dynamics, and the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. Further, to approach these methods qualitatively similarly as probes of very different scale physics in which different effects become dominant at different systems.
This meeting will close the four-year long european funded COST Action "Black Holes in a Violent Universe". The number of participants is limited to about 70.

It is therefore strongly recommended that all attendees not only visit their dedicated sessions but also attend sessions of other target audience. These two days of coming together, presenting new ideas and discussing future trends will be held on September, 21st and 22nd 2020 at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn (Germany). For 2019, Dwingeloo hosts the meeting.
First results from LOFAR were presented. For young scientists we award the best poster with a price. Since 2010 the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy SOFIA) has started contributing to a wide variety of far-infrared (FIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) astronomy science areas, ranging from the discovery of new light molecules to detecting dusty protostars in star forming regions (including infall motion and collapse), thereby significantly complementing and extending the heritage of the recently ended Herschel and Spitzer science missions. Continuing on the success of the 2012/14 Ringberg meetings on APEX science where about 70 participants discussed exciting APEX results ranging from our Solar system to distant galaxies in the Early Universe, APEX2016 aims at presenting new science results and to looking into new science opportunities for the next years.
Professionals from science communication, informal education, planetaria and science centres, as well as professional and amateur astronomers, journalists and creative personalities, are invited to attend the conference to exchange ideas and best practices.
The BONN neutron star workshops aim to bringing together observers and theoreticians to exchange and discuss new ideas related to neutron star research, in a one-day workshop, The 13th BONN workshop will future a news session devoted to highlights from ongoing neutron star research. 2009 - 2022 Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HATel:+44 (0)1223 337548Fax:+44 (0)1223 337523 Each participant is expected to deliver a 15 minute talk about their work. The aim of the EU Marie Curie programme (MCCT) was to promote, discuss and disseminate the SKA and SKADS ideas to young researchers.
Whether it is the explosion of stars in supernovae or the observations of flare stars, pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, blazars or active galactic nuclei, time-domain astronomy stretches across the whole electromagnetic spectrum and beyond. This workshop is meant for members of the DFG Research Unit FOR1254. We will treat your information with respect.

This conference will try to highlight the original and exciting science currently being produced by radio astronomical telescopes, such as the GBT, Effelsberg, LOFAR, ALMA, the JVLA, eMERLIN, EVN, VLBA, as well as pathfinder experiments of the SKA, and others. In order to enable mega-Science projects also in the future and to reduce both their long-term financial and environmental costs, renewable energy solutions should be employed. Catering to all travel and mobility concerns as well as needs from our community, the conference will be organized as a hybrid event, both face-to-face and online, allowing participants to enjoy the unique experience of joining CAP at their best convenience.
As a result, these mega-Science projects also often have a large power consumption that is not only costly but may also be sustainable on environmental grounds. The workshop is mainly meant for consortium members. Contributions to the workshop will be published online in this webpage; no regular proceedings are planned.
The conference also celebrates the career of Prof. John H. Seiradakis, who over the last 40 years has contributed to the field in many aspects.
Now more than 12 years in operation, the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12 m submillimeter telescope has significantly contributed to a wide variety of submillimeter astronomy science areas, ranging from the discoveries of new molecules to large and deep imaging of the submillimeter sky.

, (Require at least one option to be selected). In order to explore the boundaries of our current knowledge, many new scientific experiments and facilities naturally require a large technical infrastructure. The Magnetized Interstellar Medium conference was hold in Antalya, Turkey, on 8-12 September 2003, and was supported by the Max-Planck-Institut fr Radioastronomie and the Akdeniz University. The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12 m submillimeter telescope has significantly contributed to a wide variety of astronomy science areas, ranging from the discoveries of new molecules to large-scale and deep imaging of the submillimeter sky.
20200323: Unfortunately due to the rapidly changing Covid-19 situation, and travel restrictions related to this, the meeting organisers have taken the decision to CANCEL the face to facemeeting. There is a long VLBI tradition both in Bonn (MPI fr Radioastronomie) and Dwingeloo (ASTRON and JIV-ERIC), and both sites organise regular neighbourhood meetings since last century, in alternate years to the EVN Symposium.
This is the sixth meeting of the DFG Research Unit FOR1254 on magnetic fields in the Universe, which is to review the achievements made during the second funding period, supported by invited review talks given by experts in the field.
International Womens Day 2022 (IWD22) is a half day event with keynote address by Professor Belinda Wilkes, a Careers Panel, an Observatory Tour and an IWD lunch. While ALMA operation is in full swing, APEX is strengthening its role not only as a pathfinder for studying large source samples and probing larger spatial scales to prepare detailed high angular resolution ALMA follow ups, but also as a fast response instrument to complement new results from ALMA.
The discussions provided a basis for shaping up the Key Science Program (KSP) of RadioAstron, forming and structuring the KSP teams, and planning further steps for preparation and submission of the KSP proposals to the programme committees of RadioAstron and the supporting ground VLBI networks and radio telescopes. Very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) at millimetre wavelengths or using antennas in space yields resolutions down to tens of microarcseconds (that is, fractions of nanoradians). The abstracts will be published electronically. ESO uses Zenodo as a platform to deposit presentations and posters as conference proceedings. A visit to the 100-m telescope in Effelsberg with observations was also included. It will also discuss on the applications of high-resolution imaging techniques and the synergies in the study of compact objects by space and mm-VLBI together. With more antennas capable of VLBI at 3-mm wavelength, and successful observations being carried out at 1-mm, a new window is open to universe at unprecedented resolution. 80 years ago, in spring 1933, Karl Jansky published his discovery of cosmic radio emission. This workshop will be in honor of Eric Becklin, chief scientist and long-term strong supporter of SOFIA, on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Registration is now open, until 1st May.
Below is a list of upcoming and previous meetings at the IoA. We particularly encourage female scientist to contribute to the seminar.
This meeting is intended to bring together various user groups of the 100-m telescope with the support staff of the observatory and the technical developers. This paved the way not only for a new discipline, radio astronomy, but also for an exploration of the universe that now encompasses almost the entire electromagnetic window. The worlds largest conference on astronomy communication: Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2022 (CAP 2022) will be hosted from September 12-16, 2022 at the Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia (with provisions to attend in-person and online). Space provides complementary experimental and observational conditions not available on ground. With more than 900 confirmed exoplanets, it is becoming clear that there are many planetary systems with rather different properties to that of the Solar System. The purpose of the school was to present the basic principles of radio interferometry techniques and data analysis, covering general aspects common to all observations but also specialised topics including high and low-frequency, polarimetry, spectroscopy and high resolution (VLBI) observations.

A century ago the theory of stellar evolution was in its infancy. Our ambition is to bring together different research communities and provide a platform for an exchange of ideas, experience and methods that may prove invaluable in promoting the unification of time-domain astronomy.
The meeting aimed at bringing together scientists involved in AGN studies in different spectral bands, and discussing the nuclear activity in galaxies from different perspectives and in connection with similar processes occurring in galactic objects (X-ray binaries and "microquasars"). Details for this are will be posted in the programme section.
With the recent extension of APEX by the partners beyond 2012 and the changes in the submm/FIR observatory landscape with the advent of Herschel, SOFIA and ALMA, it is timely to discuss recent new science results with APEX and its scientific and instrumental opportunities in the future. 
We are pleased to announce the RadioNet Technical Dissemination Workshop on new trends in Radio Astronomy instrumentation. This workshop will review recent results on high resolution radio astronomy, including opportunities provided by new antennas becoming available. In this workshop, we will discuss the many recent developments in the field, including mapping scattering screens using VLBI, using scintillation to spatially resolve pulsar emission and solve pulsar orbits, studies of plasma lensing in plasma-dense environments, physical models of scintillation, and ways to remove scintillation/scattering from a pulsar's intrinsic emission. It provides the unique opportunity to cross border the different communities to see what the others are doing and planning and enhance communication between engineers, scientists and operators. These observations probe compact objects such as the innermost regions of active galactic nuclei.
The conference venue Ringberg Castle will provide a unique setting for in depth discussions on current and future science with APEX.
The planets that are best understood are the four telluric planets of our own solar system. Science with the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX), Schloss Ringberg, 19-22 January 2014.
Applying the detailed understanding gleaned from these bodies is crucial in our interpretation of exoplanetary systems.
