hi cosmo-pl,
A few interesting (last minute!) conference annoncements,
and one (ASTRONET) which is for people willing to invest time
in astropolitics (grants, long term big ground or space telescope
projects).

> at: http://www.astro.livjm.ac.uk/~airs2008/Support.html.
>
> ABSTRACTS
>
> This meeting will focus specifically on the first draft of the
> ASTRONET Infrastructure Roadmap, which will be made publicly available
> by the beginning of May 2008. We now invite short contributions on
> facilities and infrastructures within the following themes related to
> the Infrastructure Roadmap:
>
> * High energy astrophysics, astroparticle physics and gravitational waves
> * UVOIR and radio/mm facilities
> * Solar telescopes, solar system missions, laboratory studies
> * Theory, computing facilities and networks, Virtual Observatory
> * Education, recruitment and training, public outreach, industrial links
>
> The principal aim of this call is to obtain feedback on the ASTRONET
> Infrastructure Roadmap prior to its final publication in the Autumn of
> 2008. In order to submit an abstract you must register in the first
> instance. You will then receive an email with further instructions.
>
> ACCOMMODATION
>
> Please book your accommodation as soon as possible after you have
> registered. We are aware of at least one other large conference is
> being held in the exact same venue and period of time. Thus, demand
> for accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the Arena and
> Convention Centre (ACC) Liverpool will almost certainly be very
> high. Leaving your booking until late may result in a longer journey
> to the ACC Liverpool each day.
