Dealine for IAU Symposia and Focus Meetings in 2018
Dear Members of IAU Commission on Massive Stars and Massive Star Newsletter subscribers,
You have probably already received a reminder for the submission of Letters of Interest for
- IAU Symposia in 2018
- IAU Focus Meetings in 2018
9 IAU Symposia will be selected for 2018, 6 of them for the IAU General Assembly in Vienna, 20-31 August 2018. About 15 IAU Focus Meetings (depending on schedule) will be selected, all of them to be held during the GA.
Letters of Intent both for Symposia and FMs are due by September, 15th, 2016.
Full proposals are due by December, 15th, 2016.
The electronic form for the submission is the same for Symposia and FMs. For letters of interest, the link is:
http://www.iau.org/science/meetings/proposals/loi/
and for full proposals:
https://www.iau.org/science/meetings/proposals/lop/
Note that the LoI shall include the Coordinating Division, and that the President shall be contacted previously. All LoIs received by the deadline will be posted on the IAU web pages, allowing prospective proposers to consider possible collaboration or coordination before embarking in the preparation of the full-fledged proposal. After that, and before final submission of the full proposal, draft proposals should be submitted to Coordinating Divisions and other interested bodies (associated Divisions, Commissions and Working Groups) for advice and letters of endorsement, early enough (one month in advance is recommended) to be included in the final form submitted to IAU.
Symposia held during the GA last for 3.5 days. Other IAU Symposia last for 5 days and cannot be held within 3 months of the GA. FMs last for 1-2 days.
You find all the information about IAU meetings in

From the OC of the Massive Stars Commission we encourage our members to submit proposals of interest for our community.
With best regards,
Artemio Herrero
on behalf of the OC of the IAU Commission G2 on Massive Stars
