[ASA] Announcement: "Baracchi III: The third Pietro Baracchi conference”, November 3-4, 2021

[Steven Tingay]

Dear colleagues,

Following the "save the date" announcement previously distributed, it is
our pleasure to announce “Baracchi III: The third Pietro Baracchi
conference”, to be held on November 3-4, 2021, online.

The first two Pietro Baracchi conferences have highlighted many areas of
common interest and activity between Australian and Italian astronomy, and
have led to new connections.  We wish to continue this positive engagement,
even though the world continues to be disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the breadth of collaboration in astronomy and associated engineering
and technology between the two countries, Baracchi III will adopt a broad
rationale.

There will be invited talks from across all areas of astrophysics and
engineering, on four main themes with high common activity (two talks per
each country per theme):


   - the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project;
   - the European Southern Observatory (ESO);
   - the CherenkovTelescope Array Observatory (CTAO);
   - Gravitational waves and multi messenger astronomy.


In addition, two special featured talks will open each day of the meeting:


   - “Astronomical Science, Astronomical Challenges at the Pawsey
   Supercomputing Centre.”, Ugo Varetto (Pawsey Supercomputing Centre);
   - “Overview on Exoplanets science (from space)”, Giovanna Tinetti (UCL)


To take into account time zone differences between Australia and Italy, the
conference is scheduled on both days 7:00-11:00 UTC (i.e. 8:00-12:00 CET /
15:00-19:00 AWST / 18:00-22:00 AEDT).

The preliminary schedule can be found here:

The list of titles and abstracts is available at this link:

We plan to have talks recorded, so you can also peruse the presentations
afterwards.
There will also be a Slack channel dedicated to the conference, both to
allow for offline questions and to encourage offline discussion on selected
topics.

To facilitate us organising the attendees connections, the deadline for
registration is:
November 1, 2021, 11:00 UTC.

You can register at the direct link:
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/TL5JCK1DvKT2ykEjjs35b4-?domain=indico.ict.inaf.it

The final program and all the connection details will be provided soon and
posted on the web page.

Looking forward to a lively conference!

Giulia Macario and Steven Tingay, on behalf of the SOC.
