4) PLATO Mission Conference 2021: Exploring exoplanets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars | On-line | 11-15 October 2021
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second announcement of thePLATO Mission Conference 2021: Exploring exoplanets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars, which will be held from 11 to 15 October 2021 as online event.
PLATO is the third medium sized mission in ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme and currently under development with a planned launch date in 2026. PLATO will search for exoplanets and perform their bulk characterisation with an unprecedented accuracy, focusing on Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zone of bright Sun-like stars. PLATO will use the transit method combined with the seismic analysis of the host star and with ground-based radial velocity measurements, to determine the planetary mass, radius, age, and orbital characteristics of the system.
This Conference aims at presenting the status of the PLATO mission to the community, both on the satellite development and scientific preparation, and at bringing experts working on observations and theory associated with any of the PLATO science objectives (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/plato).
*Abstract submission is now open and will close on 18 June for talks, and on 30 July for posters*. Registration is open until 24 September. There is no registration fee. http://platomissionconference2021.iaa.es/registration
The invited speakers are:
Maria Bergemann - Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
Andrew Collier-Cameron - University of St Andrews
Guy Davies - University of Birmingham
Sebastien Deheuvels - Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie
Caroline Dorn - University of Zurich

8) 10th IRAM 30-meter School on Millimetre Astronomy | on-line | 15-19, 22 and 23 November
This is the first announcement of the 10th IRAM 30-meter School on Millimetre Astronomy.
Due to the special circumstances derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 10th edition will be held on-line, on 15-19, 22 and 23 November. On-line registration will open shortly.
As in previous editions, the school will combine lectures on millimetre astronomy with observations using the 30-meter telescope. Lectures will be given by experienced scientists and 30-meter observers, covering a wide range of topics, including
- the study of the chemistry of interstellar clouds,
- low and high mass star formation, in the Milky Way, in nearby galaxies, and at high-redshifts.
In addition, the school will include lectures on
- instrumentation, observing techniques, and data processing.
This edition will highlight the synergies with the IRAM NOrthern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA).
The lectures will be complemented by practical work using the 30-meter telescope. As usual, students, lecturers and technical assistants will form small groups, to work on one topic, preparing a science case, conducting the observations with the 30-meter telescope, reducing the data, and presenting first results on the last day of the school. However, unlike previous schools, where trainers and students performed their observations at the telescope site, in this edition all observations will be conducted in remote mode.
The school is aimed at attracting new scientists to current and future single-dish millimetre and sub-millimetre facilities. The school is primarily meant for young researchers with little previous experience in mm-astronomy.
Due to the constraints imposed by the practices at the telescope (even in remote mode), the school attendance will be limited to about 60 students who will be selected on the basis of their interests, experience, and references. Other considerations will be taken into account. In particular, we will strive to achieve balance in gender and geographical origin for attendees and lecturers.
The school pages will be available soon in the IRAM web site. For reference the information of the previous school edition (September 2019) can be consulted here (https://www.iram-institute.org/EN/content-page-402-7-67-402-0-0.html)

Miguel Sánchez-Portal, on behalf of the Science Organising Committee
