Aim：The purpose of this meeting is to bring together all scholars, from all over the world, in the fields of astronomy and/or astronomy-related science, to sow the seeds for future collaborations between the CAS and Universities, as well as to train young talents in pursuing fundamental science research in China, which therefore be able to push astronomy research and public awareness a major step forward.

This annual meeting will cover cutting-edge topics in all branches of astronomy, as well as in interdisciplinary fields. Lectures will be in one of three forms, i.e., plenary lectures, parallel-session reports, and public outreach talks. The plenary speakers are invited by the SOC, while the talks in parallel sessions are recommended by the chair of the corresponding session. The meeting will be organized based on eight parallel sessions, as follows:

1>        radio astronomy

2>        solar and planetary astronomy

3>        stellar and galactic astronomy

4>        Instrumentation, time-keeping

5>        astro-mechanics and astrometry

6>        high-energy (astro)physics

7>        galaxies and large-scale structure

8>        astronomical history, education, and public awareness of science

If you wish to attend the meeting, please register and submit your abstract ONLINE. For more details, please wait for further notification.
