Subject: IAU Symposia and Focus Meetings 2021


Dear colleagues, soon we will be expecting to receive the Letters of Intent (LoI) for the 2021 Symposia (both the 6 GA Symposia and the 3 non-GA Symposia) and 12 GA Focus Meetings. As you know the deadline for submitting the LoIs is the 15th of September. I advise you to read carefully the Rules & Guidelines for IAU Scientific Meetings before preparing the LoI (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/gcXmCq7BKYtrrZ0BUZhz_Y?domain=iau.org).


Taking into consideration the impact that an IAU Symposium may have on the local community, and because inclusion and networking are very important for the IAU, I take the opportunity to remind you that, besides the usual support in travel grants offered by the IAU to any IAU Symposium (up to ?20 000), further extra financial support (up to ?15 000) will be offered, from now on, to countries hosting a Symposium for the first time (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/AzJiCr8DLRtjjEVMcz_D3Y?domain=iau.org). The extra funding may be used for organisational expenses, including invited speakers.

Therefore, I call on you to consider networking with colleagues in other countries taking advantage of this new opening, and working towards expanding the list of countries successfully hosting IAU Symposia.

I look forward to hear from you.

Best regards, Teresa

Hi all,

If your research involves high performance computing (HPC) and high performance data (HPD), please consider registering for the first Australasian Leadership Computing Symposium (see below) in Canberra this coming November (Tuesday 5th to Friday 8th). The core theme will be ?Connecting for our High Performance Future?.

Astronomy will be one of the research streams represented; there will be a mix of speakers from Australia and overseas, and a number of hands-on sessions are planned. This is a particularly timely meeting, given that our community is now engaged in the mid-term review of the Decadal Plan, and there will be a forum to discuss future opportunities. Free training in HPC and HPD will be coordinated and led by NCI and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre on Tuesday, November 5th.

Note that the deadline for abstract submission is 16th August.

Of note for WA-based researchers:- we have funding (courtesy of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre) to support travel and accommodation. If you are interested, please get in touch.

Cheers,

Chris

Applications are now open for ICRAR?s 2019 Summer Studentship Program!

Good afternoon all,

We?re searching for eight talented undergraduate students to join us over summer to work in astronomy (including, theory, simulations or observational), radio astronomy engineering or data intensive astronomy (ICT). Each studentship comes with a $7,600 scholarship and interstate/NZ students also receive airfares and a 50% accommodation subsidy. Four of our studentships are offered in partnership with the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre for computational astronomy/data intensive astronomy projects.

Please encourage your undergraduate students to apply.

Applications close on the 8th August. Studentships are expected to begin on the 25th of November and will consist of ten weeks work and a two-week (paid) Christmas break. Dates and timing can be flexible for successful students.

More details and the application form are at: www.icrar.org/studentships<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/tcHQCxnMRvt03MjMs8U1UN?domain=icrar.org>
Please also see the attached poster for further information. Feel free to print it out for noticeboards in your department if appropriate.
