Upcoming Conferences and Meetings

NYRIA 2025

  • Start: Sep 22, 2025
  • End: Sep 26, 2025
  • Location: Haus der Astronomie
  • Host: Daniel Mortimer, Maximilian Häberle, Bhavesh Rajpoot, Jonas Sauter (supported by a scientific organising committee)
  • Contact: mortimer@mpia.de
The 10th annual Network of Young Researchers in Instrumentation for Astronomy (NYRIA) workshop will be held at the Haus der Astronomie (HdA) and the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA). NYRIA brings together young researchers in the field of ground based, visible and infrared instrumentation. The workshop will see members of the community share their research, take part in tours and an instrumentation themed hackathon among other things. This 10th edition is particularly special as MPIA was the location of the first workshop in 2015. [more]

Signal in the Noise: The Ringberg Workshop on JWST Exoplanet Observations

  • Start: Nov 16, 2025
  • End: Nov 21, 2025
  • Speaker: Taylor Bell, Aarynn Carter, Daniel Huber, and Alexander (Sasha) Shapiro
  • Location: Schloss Ringberg
  • Host: Eva-Maria Ahrer (MPIA), Lili Alderson (Cornell University), Adina Feinstein (Michigan State University), Benjamin Rackham (MIT) and Michael Radica (University of Chicago)
  • Contact: signalinthenoise2025@gmail.com
Signal in the Noise is a workshop focused on overcoming the instrumental and astrophysical challenges we face in characterising transiting exoplanet atmospheres. JWST has transformed our study of exoplanets with its unprecedented precision in previously inaccessible wavelength ranges. Yet, as we extend our efforts to observe smaller and more complex signals, we increasingly encounter noise sources—both instrumental and astrophysical—that challenge our ability to discern atmospheric signatures. This workshop aims to address these challenges by bringing together ~50 experts on JWST data analysis and stellar activity to share insights and approaches and to collaborate on the analysis of real JWST datasets over a weeklong workshop.

SDSS-V collaboration meeting

SDSS-V
  • Start: Jun 2, 2025
  • End: Jun 6, 2025
  • Location: Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
  • Host: Jaime Villaseñor, Hans-Walter Rix
  • Contact: villasenor@mpia.de
The 2025 SDSS-V Collaboration Meeting brings together the SDSS-V community to discuss the latest science results, project updates, and the upcoming public data release, as the survey continues its mission to map millions of stars, galaxies, and black holes. [more]

Ringberg Meeting: Puzzles of Star Formation II

Ringberg Meeting
  • Start: May 4, 2025
  • End: May 7, 2025
  • Location: Schloss Ringberg
Welcome to this workshop to explore the boundaries and puzzles in the field of star formation. This is the second incarnation of the Puzzles of Star Formation meeting (PoSFII), where the first edition took place at Ringberg castle in 2021. We do not anticipate the classical meeting where everybody presents and summarizes the most recent results, but rather we would like to dig deeper and decipher the real problems in the field that still need to be solved. [more]

48th Library Conference of the Max Planck Society

  • Start: Apr 2, 2025
  • End: Apr 4, 2025
  • Location: Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg
  • Host: Library conference working group of the Max Planck Society (coordination: Johannes Mikuteit, MPIL)
This year's Max Planck Library conference takes place in Heidelberg. The Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law hosts the main meeting, while the Haus der Astronomie is the venue of the evening event. [more]

GAP – Gas Accretion in Planet Formation

GAP
  • Start: Mar 10, 2025
  • End: Mar 12, 2025
  • Location: MPIA-Campus
  • Host: Jun Hashimoto (NAOJ), Yuhiko Aoyama, Ruobing Dong, Haochang Jiang, Gabriel-Dominique Marleau
  • Contact: soc-gap2025@googlegroups.com
The GAP meeting will focus on the critical phase of gas accretion in the formation of gas giant planets, offering insights into young, forming planets still embedded in protoplanetary disks. This event will bring together researchers to discuss our current understanding of gas accretion processes and explore future research directions in this field. We will also discuss the connection between forming gas giants, isolated planetary-mass objects, and wide-orbit planets not embedded in disks. [more]
