[ASA] 2021 ASM/HWSA announcement, and 2022 call for proposals

[Cathryn Trott]

Dear ASA Members,

2021 ASM and HWSA

The ASA is pleased to announce formally that the University of Melbourne will host the 2021 ASA Annual Scientific Meeting and Harley Wood School for Astronomy. The Chair of the meeting and lead of the organising committees is A/Prof Christian Reichardt, supported by Ms Kim Dorrell.

The ASM will be held in the week of Monday July 12 - Friday July 16, 2021, and will be preceded by the HWSA.

At this stage, the ASM will be a fully virtual meeting, while there are some face-to-face options being explored for the HWSA. The committee will provide further information in the new year, with the understanding that future restrictions for travel etc might require a flexible format.


2022 ASM and HWSA

The ASA Council is seeking bids from institutions wishing to host the 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting of the ASA and the 2022 Harley Wood School for Astronomy (HWSA). Council is seeking bids that include face-to-face and virtual/online access to the meeting, to have greater flexibility for attendance of future ASA events.

In 2022, the ASM meeting dates are suggested to be Monday July 4 - Friday July 8, 2022. The HWSA is usually held in the days preceding the ASM.

These dates are chosen to align with school holidays in most states.

Details of the guidelines for the bid can be found at:

https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/c0SDCE8wmrtGD8YmFNXaia?domain=asa.astronomy.org.au

Bids must be submitted by Friday February 5, 2021 for consideration by ASA Council in its February meeting.

Please direct any queries to me.

Regards,
Cathryn
