Upcoming Conferences and Meetings

Physics of Star Formation: ISM dynamics and star formation: Linking (extra-)galactic scales to protoplanetary disks

HHSF2024
  • Start: Dec 3, 2024
  • End: Dec 6, 2024
  • Location: Haus der Astronomie
  • Host: Henrik Beuther
  • Contact: hhsf@mpia.de
The meeting will concentrate on the physical and chemical processes taking place over a broad range of scales, from extragalactic to individual star-forming regions, cores as well as protostellar disks. Evolutionary stages from the initial conditions for star formation to the end of the main accretion phase will be covered. [more]

Past Conferences and Meetings

Astro Hack Week 2024

  • Start: Aug 26, 2024
  • End: Aug 31, 2024
  • Location: Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
  • Host: Morgan Fouesneau, Iva Momcheva, Daniela Huppenkothen, Kerry Paterson, Mila Chadayammuri, James Davies, Mariia Demianenko, Bhavesh Rajpoot
  • Contact: astrohackweek.event@gmail.com
Astro Hack Week is a mixture of data analysis lectures and unconference-enabled collaborative research, with about one third of the workshop dedicated to tutorials and the rest to open project work. There are no formal prerequisites. During tutorials, participants will learn practical skills in advanced data science-related topics, including statistical and machine-learning methods crucial to modern astronomical data analysis.

New Computational Methods in Milky Way Dynamics and Structure

  • Start: Jul 14, 2024 04:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • End: Jul 17, 2024 02:00 PM
  • Location: Schloss Ringberg
  • Host: Gregory M. Green
  • Contact: green@mpia.de
A three-day workshop on machine-learning-inspired tools and methods for revealing the dynamics and structure of our Galaxy in the era of large photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic surveys. [more]

EPoS 2024 - Answering the Big Questions: Are we making progress?

  • Start: May 12, 2024
  • End: May 17, 2024
  • Location: Schloss Ringberg
  • Host: Jürgen Steinacker
  • Contact: stein@mpia.de
EPoS The Early Phase of Star Formation is a series of conferences for a field where still no paradigm has been established and consequently opposing views require intense debates. EPoS meetings have an unusual form: they devote substantial time to discussions after the presentations, after each session, in the poster sessions, and in focus groups. [more]

From Planet to Star Formation

  • Start: Mar 4, 2024
  • End: Mar 8, 2024
  • Location: Villa Vigoni, Menaggio, Italy
  • Host: Thomas Henning, Hubert Klahr, Myriam Benisty, Mario Flock, Ilaria Pascucci, Paola Caselli
  • Contact: hiemstra@mpia.de
How did our planet earth develop? Could there be similar earths in our solar neighbourhood? Both theory and observation experts in the field of planetary development will come together in our workshop to answer these fascinating questions. [more]

Celebrating 30 Years of Protoplanetary Disk Chemistry: past, present, and future

  • Start: Feb 19, 2024
  • End: Feb 23, 2024
  • Location: Schloss Ringberg
  • Host: Anne Dutrey (LAB/Bordeaux University), Thomas Henning (MPIA), Dmitry Semenov (MPIA), Catherine Walsh (Leeds University)
  • Contact: semenov@mpia.de
The aim of the workshop is to bring together around 50 researchers working on various aspects of protoplanetary disk chemistry including observations, modelling, and experiments in conjunction with researchers working on chemistry in the interstellar medium, star and disk formation and evolution, and planet formation.
