[Cosmo-pl] sf2a : vos dernieres nouvelles (fwd)

[Boud Roukema]

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).

> 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.
