1. IAU PhD Prize 2019 - reminder of the deadline for applications
Dear Colleague,
As you know the IAU has created in 2016 a new prize - the IAU PhD Prize. Each IAU Division has, once a year, the opportunity to award its own prize to the candidate it feels has carried out the most remarkable work in the previous year (i.e. a PhD Thesis which has been defended between the 16 December in the previous year, and 15 December this year).
The IAU PhD Prize is open to candidates from any country, regardless of whether the country has an IAU National Membership. The objective is to recognise outstanding scientific achievement in astrophysics around the world even at that early stage in the career.
I would like to count on you in alerting potential candidates, in your country or institution, for this opportunity since the deadline for applications for the 2019 IAU PhD Prize will be 15th December 2019.
The application form is available here : https://www.iau.org/submissions/phd....
The conditions and details for the application are available in the IAU webpage : https://www.iau.org/science/grants_....
I thank you in advance.
Best regards, Teresa

2. Cloud Academy II, 8-13 March 2020, Les Houches
We have opened the application for Cloud Academy II (8-13 March 2020, Les Houches) :
http://leap2010.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk... —> application form
Please complete the application form if you wish to apply for the school. No payment or commitment is required for the application. Some support may be available for selected participants (notably PhD students and CNRS staff if the school is endorsed as "Ecole thématique CNRS"). We anticipate notifying the selected participants by 1st December 2019. Selected participants will then be asked to confirm their participation latest by 15th December 2019.
Rationale : Clouds and hazes form in nearly every type of planetary atmospheres. They fundamentally impact the atmospheric structure and spectra of exoplanets and even influence their habitability. Intensive observing efforts have generated an abundance of data on clouds and hazes in exoplanets but modeling expertise in the community has lagged. This school will focus on physical models for cloud and haze formation in planetary atmospheres in different radiation environments, and include reviews on exoplanet observations and laboratory studies.

3. Conférence "Exobiologie Jeunes Chercheurs" (EJC) 18-20 novembre 2019, CNES, Paris
Deadline Abstract 06/10/2019
Exobiologie Jeunes Chercheurs 2019 est la 4ème édition d’une conférence nationale dédiée aux jeunes chercheurs impliqués dans l’étude de l’origine de la vie, de son évolution et de sa détection sur Terre ou dans l’Univers. Cette conférence rassemblera des jeunes chercheurs de toutes disciplines, astrophysiciens, chimistes, biologistes, géologues ou encore historiens des sciences venus présenter leurs travaux. EJC’19 sera un lieu de rencontres entre les acteurs majeurs de l’Exobiologie d’aujourd’hui et de demain. D’autres présentations seront également données par des chercheurs invités. Un « Bar des Sciences » dans le cadre de cette conférence est également organisé au Café Lutèce, à Paris, le 19 novembre 2019. La date limite de soumission des résumés est fixée au 6 octobre 2019. Si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter à l’adresse suivante : ejc2019@exobiologie.fr. Les détails de la conférence (programme, soumission des abstracts, frais d’inscriptions) sont disponibles sur le site : http://www.exobiologie.fr/EJC2019/

5. Registration open for Voyage 2050 Workshop - closes 30 September
Registration is now open for the ESA Voyage 2050 workshop to be held at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Calle Serrano 117, Madrid, Spain, from Tuesday 29 October to Thursday 31 October, 2019.
The focus of this workshop will be presentations and discussions related to the White Paper proposals that have been submitted by the broad scientific community for Voyage 2050, the next planning cycle of the ESA Science Programme. The White Papers are available to download from : https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/voya...
Since capacity at CSIC is limited, anyone wishing to attend must register to express interest in attending (all or part of) the workshop. Confirmation of assigned places at the workshop will be provided by 7 October.
The workshop will be streamed live but no recording will be made available after the event.
There is no workshop fee. Lunch will be provided to participants.
Registration To register your interest in attending the workshop, please complete the online registration form at : https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/voya...
