The 10th Meeting of the European Astronomical Society
(EAS)
will be held in Munich, Germany, jointly with the 75th Annual
Assembly and International Scientific Meeting of the Astronomische
Gesellschaft (AG).
The Conference will cover the basic fields of astronomy and astrophysics
related to the recent and future advances of large ground based and
space telescopes.
It is open to all astronomers who would like to interact and exchange their
scientific expertise with their European colleagues, and should
provide an excellent opportunity for astronomers from all over Europe
to advance their research and strengthen cooperations.
During the Conference, both the fundamental astronomical
knowledge and the exciting new results in experimental and
theoretical astrophysics will be presented by experts in the
field. Highlights from younger scientists originating from European
institutes and mini-symposia covering a number of more specific topic
will be organised, and space and time for poster presentations will
be provided.
The city of Munich and its neighbouring town of Garching form one of
the centres of astrophysical research in Germany. JENAM2001 will
be jointly hosted by Max-Planck-Institut für Astrophysik (MPA),
Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik (MPE), European Southern Observatory
(ESO), all in Garching near Munich, and the
Universitätssternwarte München (USM).
Munich is the capital of Bavaria, the largest German state. With a
population of 1.25 million it is the third largest city in Germany.
Munich is a very attractive city, in particular it has a very
active cultural life. However, some theaters or the opera might be
still in its summer break at the time of the meeting.
Munich has a very well functioning public transportation system. It
can be reached by car, bus, train or air. Its international airport
is directly connected to the city centre by rail (S-Bahn). It has
international and national fast and comfortable train links
(Inter-City-Express, Euro-City) to many major European cities.
Local Information
The conference will be held in the buildings of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. The buildings are located in downtown Munich, within 15 minutes walking distance of `Marienplatz' which is located in the very center of Munich. All buildings can conveniently be reached by public transport and car, though parking space may be rare and rather expensive.
Local Information
The plenary lectures of JENAM 2001 (Karl Schwarzschild Lecture, Lecture of the Ludwig Biermann Prizewinner, invited and Highlight-talks) will be published in volume 15 of the ``Reviews in Modern Astronomy'' in summer 2002. EAS is presently investigating with several publishing companies the possibility to start a Conference Series. In case of a positive outcome proceedings of Mini Symposia and Joint Discussions could be published in such a Conference Series. EAS will inform the community in due time.
