Le projet du nouveau PDG du CNRS pr\u00e9voit une r\u00e9duction de 10 \u00e0 7 instituts au CNRS, l’INSU \u00e9tant partag\u00e9 entre deux futur instituts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the European Astronomical Society continues to expand its reach, activities, and role within the European scientific landscape, establishing a clear long-term direction has become a priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to announce the opening of bids to host future EAS Annual Meetings. While the 2027 EAS Annual Meeting is confirmed for Vienna, Austria (21\u201325 June), hosting opportunities for 2028 and 2029 remain open. Although the Society has already received initial proposals for 2028 onward, that are being evaluated, no hosts have been officially confirmed. The EAS Annual Meeting Board warmly invites proposers from across Europe to submit bids to host our flagship meeting in the following years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The call for nominations for EAS Prizes and the EAS Fellows is now open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear EAS member, <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dans le cadre du GdR Ondes Gravitationnelles, les groupes de travail \u00ab\u00a0Populations de sources\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Astronomie multi-messager\u00a0\u00bb organisent un atelier du 16 au 17 novembre 2026 \u00e0 l’Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris (IAP, Amphith\u00e9\u00e2tre). Cet atelier sera l’occasion de discuter des d\u00e9fis et des synergies li\u00e9s \u00e0 l’astronomie multi-messagers et des implications astrophysiques pour diff\u00e9rentes populations de sources (e.g. populations d’objets compacts stellaires et galactiques, trous noirs massifs extragalactiques) et les fonds stochastiques d’ondes gravitationnelles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the next Tools Working Group workshop of the GDR CoPhy, hosted at the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris (IAP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The RAMSES SNO (https:\/\/ramses.cnrs.fr\/<\/a>) is pleased to announce its fourth RAMSES SNO days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The RED school will take place in Le Teich (33) from March 14th to 20th, 2027. Its objective is to offer an interdisciplinary training in astrobiology to students and young scientists preparing a thesis in astronomy, planetology, geology, chemistry, biology, or history and philosophy of sciences, linked with the themes of astrobiology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear Colleagues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ch\u00e8res et chers coll\u00e8gues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Le projet de l’European Solar Telescope<\/em> (EST; https:\/\/est-east.eu\/<\/a>), de t\u00e9lescope solaire de nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de 4,2m d’ouverture, dont l’implantation est pr\u00e9vue \u00e0 La Palma (Canaries, Espagne) vient d’\u00eatre reconnu comme \u00ab\u00a0Landmark<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb par le Forum strat\u00e9gique europ\u00e9en sur les infrastructures de recherche (ESFRI), \u00e0 l\u2019issue de la d\u00e9cision adopt\u00e9e lors de sa derni\u00e8re r\u00e9union, tenue \u00e0 Cork les 23 et 24 Septembre 2026.

To navigate this growth effectively, the EAS requires a wide-ranging vision that will guide our overall strategy and future actions. As a first step, the EAS Council\u2014with valuable input from the EAS Policy Advisory Group and our Affiliated Societies\u2014has drafted a document outlining our Strategic Vision for the coming decades. We are now seeking input from our membership on this draft. Link to the document is below. Note that the document is not meant to contain an implementation plan, which will be a separate document the EAS council will be working on in the coming months.
Your feedback is essential and will be carefully considered by Council as we prepare the final version, which we plan to adopt by the end of 2026. To streamline the feedback process, keep responses organized, and ensure that no member’s input is inadvertently lost in the email shuffle, all comments must be submitted via Google Form<\/strong>.

The EAS Annual Meeting takes place in a different European country each year, reflecting the continent’s rich national diversity. The conference aims to advance European astronomy, facilitate scientific exchange, foster international collaborations, and help students and early-career researchers build their professional networks. By rotating venues, the Society actively involves national communities, strengthening the bonds between local societies, the EAS, and attending pan-European organisations. To guarantee a consistently high-standard event, the EAS takes a leading organisational role alongside a professional conference organiser (PCO). While the EAS manages the meeting’s financial budget, the hosts are expected to explore a baseline of support from local and national research institutions. A brief remark on this front is welcome in the LoI.
The EAS Annual Meeting has become the largest astronomical conference in Europe, regularly attracting over 1,500 participants from across the continent and beyond. In recent years, the meeting has also adopted a hybrid format, making a fraction of its sessions accessible online, subject to the available budget.
Interested parties are invited to submit a 1-page Letter of Intent by Friday, October 30, 2026<\/strong>. This letter should explicitly demonstrate support from the host institution. While a comprehensive, full bid will be required by the end of 2026, this preliminary LoI must outline the availability and estimated costs of the proposed venue. Please note that the venue must accommodate up to 1,500 delegates and roughly 10 parallel sessions over five days. The week-long meeting should ideally be scheduled during the last half of June or the first half of July of the target year.
Please submit your LoI to eas@unige.ch<\/a> by the deadline. For any questions regarding the bidding process, please contact the chair of the Annual Meeting Board (ignacio.ferreras@iac.es<\/a>).

Relevant issues include, among others, observing inclusion and diversity activities in European astronomy, assessing the EAS demographics, recommending to the Council and membership new policies or practices with regard to increasing inclusiveness, and assisting in the implementation of these new activities where necessary.
– Advisory Committee on Sustainability, whose charge is to investigate, communicate, and make recommendations to Council on sustainability matters related to astronomy and astrophysics. Relevant issues include, among others, the organisation of international meetings, the energy consumption of observatories and supercomputer facilities, and sustainability and climate issues as part of astronomy communication.
Interested parties should fill in the following form (https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfcJFL1lPUCwmNNN8Z1ptWPC3pIEZgpjVNiGFgUEmq8nNm1mg\/viewform?usp=dialog<\/a>) before 1 November 2026<\/strong>.
