[ASA] Call for Proposals for ESO Workshops in 2024

[stuart.ryder at astronomyaustralia.org.au]

Science workshops are an essential component of ESO's programmes. They
represent a unique opportunity to promote and foster ideas and
collaborations within ESO's scientific community. Every year, through the
Directorate for Science, ESO provides support and funding to organise
workshops in Santiago (Chile) and in Garching (Germany), as well as
co-funding external workshops including meetings in Sydney in 2019, Perth in
2020
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/EvxRC2xMQziV85KNzunaeRT?domain=eso.org>
and the upcoming Galaxy Transformation Across Space and Time
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/K1DyC3QNPBiX2D75zUqh0cO?domain=mso.anu.edu.au>  in Canberra this
September. A  <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/XaT-C4QOPEizl4YpKIBDYOO?domain=eso.org>
new Call has been issued inviting astronomers to submit proposals for ESO
workshops to be held in 2024, either standalone or teaming up with ESO staff
and fellows in Chile
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Go7xC5QPXJiM6kgVLS2Z_ix?domain=eso.org>  and/or in
Germany <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/urY5C6XQ4LfPyLVnYFxhQMu?domain=eso.org> . Note
that ESO has implemented a
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/miROC71R2NTzZGEO1IRJg9w?domain=eso.org> Code of
Conduct for Workshops and Conferences, which applies to all meetings funded
by ESO, hosted at ESO premises or organised as online events.   

The deadline for workshop proposals is 15 May 2023. The proposal should
describe the scientific area to be covered by the workshop and the format
(e.g. expected number of participants, location, organising committee,
keynote speakers) using the form provided
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/GqpPC81V0PTXYNO7pUzzyaL?domain=forms.office.com
NWFwGb8RLiJmW2TqxOapUQ1c3NU4wNFdKMUZER0U2Sk1ESlpVQ0xDSC4u> . Note that there
is no need to contact potential SOC members or invited speakers formally at
this stage. When planning your workshop, please take into account that ESO
workshops strive to achieve gender balance in all aspects, including
representation on the organising committees, session chairs, and through
invitations to high quality speakers in line with the gender balance in our
research community. To monitor the success of this policy the Offices for
Science will be collecting demographic information of participants for all
2024 ESO workshops.

Proposed workshops will be evaluated by a committee of ESO astronomers. The
selection committee will rank the proposals based on the scientific
timeliness and the perceived benefit to ESO's programmes and community. For
further information please contact Itziar De Gregorio Monsalvo
(idegrego at eso.org <mailto:idegrego at eso.org> ) or Michael Hilker
(mhilker at eso.org <mailto:mhilker at eso.org> )
