Schedule
Below you will find the three-day schedule for the conference.
On each day of the conference we will have discussion sessions with topics related the collaborative projects of the AstroWG.
In the mornings we will have plenary sessions with several science talks. During the afternoons of Thursday 14th and Friday 15th we will organise breakout rooms with discussions related to the three different AstroWG projects (see below for details and zoom links).
Note that time is given in Central European Summer Time (CEST) equivalent to GMT+2. To convert to your local time zone use https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
