<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>We have decided to extend the deadline for abstract submissions
for the ACAMAR workshop on the <i>Future of Traditional Survey
Science</i> by a week to <i><b>Friday 27 August</b></i>. <br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<div class="moz-forward-container">The workship will be held on
22, 23 and 24 September 2021. We have a stellar line-up of
invited speakers, but <b>there is still space for a few more
contributed talks</b>. Please consider submitting an abstract
in the next week, last chance! (General registration will remain

<p>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
ACAMAR, the Australia-China Consortium for Astrophysics
Research (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/okutCjZ1N7in9XnB8h5H2zZ?domain=acamar.org.au" moz-do-not-send="true">https://acamar.org.au</a>), is
sponsoring a three-day workshop on the <i>Future of
Traditional Survey Science</i>, to be held online on 22, 23
and 24 September 2021: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/1UvSCgZ0N1iAkRAo9ComHmQ?domain=ftss2021.casconf.cn" moz-do-not-send="true">https://ftss2021.casconf.cn</a><br>
<br>
Optical and near-infrared astronomy is now truly in a
transition phase from small-team projects to large-scale
mega-surveys. Australian and Chinese colleagues are ideally
placed to take advantage of these developments, which could
have an ever greater impact if we combined forces to pursue
the most exciting opportunities where complementary expertise
is available among the partners. Current facilities and
ongoing photometric and spectroscopic surveys in China and
Australia, as well as those accessible internationally to both
communities, offer exciting prospects for major new insights
into stellar and galactic properties across time and space.<br>
<br>
This three-day virtual workshop aims to familiarise
researchers from both partner countries with each other's
expertise and research interests, thus leveraging our joint
strengths to achieve more than the simple sum of our research
efforts. In practical terms, the software and database tools
we need to make the data accessible to both communities will
feature prominently, as will developments regarding future
instrumentation needs.<br>
<br>
<u><i>Topics will include</i></u>:<br>
<br>
1. Spectroscopy: GALAH+ (Australia); LAMOST (China); 4MOST
(Australia, international); SDSS, DESI (international)<br>
<br>
2. Time domain: Vera Rubin Observatory/LSST (Australia);
50BiN/SONG (China); TESS (international)<br>
<br>
3. Extremely Large Telescopes: GMT (Australia); TMT, C30
(China)<br>
<br>
4. Future ground-based facilities: 6.5m/12m telescopes
(China), 2.5m WFST (USTC/PMO), 1.6m Mephisto telescope (YNU):
multi-colour optical/NIR photometric surveys (China)<br>
<br>
5. Future space facilities: Chinese Space Telescope
(UV–optical sky survey); JWST, Euclid, Nancy Roman Space
Telescope (international)<br>
<br>
Important dates: <br>
- <b>20 August 2021</b>: <i><b>Deadline for submission of
abstracts</b></i><br>
- 3 September 2021: Workshop programme released<br>
- <b>21 September 2021</b>: <i><b>Workshop registration
deadline</b></i><br>
