- First announcement of the JCMT Users Meeting 2025 –
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the JCMT Users meeting will be held from July 1st to July 4th, 2025, in Chiang Mai, Thailand (https://www.eaobservatory.org/jcmt/science/users-meeting-2025/).
The meeting will consist of both talks (invited and contribution) and posters on the current progress and updates on JCMT sciences and instrumentation. We also plan to arrange hands-on tutorial sessions and lectures for JCMT observations and data reduction, which would help beginners become more familiar with JCMT.
As many of you may know, the partnership of the East Asian Observatory and JCMT has been changed, which may require reorganizing the JCMT user community, but at the same time allows the community to start new collaborations using JCMT. The users meeting would provide an excellent occasion for the community to have such discussions. We will make rooms available for teams that are carrying out current JCMT Large Programmes and for those who wish to discuss future collaborations.
More details will be circulated shortly, and in the meantime, please mark your calendar. If you have any questions about the meeting, please send emails to jcmt_um_2025_@_eaobservatory.org (replace _@_ with @).
Cheers,
Nagayoshi Ohashi on behalf of the SOC

- AstroRob2025 in Almería (6-10 Oct): First Announcement
Following the success of the previous workshops held in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023, we are delighted to announce the 8th Workshop on Robotic Autonomous Observatories (AstroRob2025). The workshop will take place in El Toyo (Almeria), Spain, from October 6 to 10, 2025.
Sixteen years after the inaugural workshop in Malaga, robotic and autonomous astronomical observatories have achieved remarkable advancements. The global number of automated facilities has grown substantially, along with their capabilities in robotization, autonomy, and networking. These developments, driven by the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves (such as the groundbreaking detection in 2017), have profoundly influenced diverse areas of astrophysics and beyond, including:
Fireball detection
Minor planet studies
Exoplanet searches
Monitoring variable stars in the Galaxy
Studying active galactic nuclei
Supernova detection and monitoring
Rapid follow-up of high-energy transients like gamma-ray bursts
Electromagnetic counterparts to neutrino and gravitational waves
The workshop will also highlight the increasing importance of space debris surveillance and tracking, the observation of Near-Earth Objects, the role of robotic observatories in public outreach and education, and their contributions to open science. The Scientific Organizing Committee aims to deliver a dynamic program
addressing scientific, technical, educational, and outreach themes.
We encourage researchers, engineers, educators, and enthusiasts working in these fields to join us at AstroRob2025. The success of this workshop series has been largely due to the active participation, insightful presentations, and engaging discussions contributed by its attendees. Your involvement is key to making the forthcoming workshop as fruitful and inspiring as previous editions.
1) VENUE AND LOGISTICS
The workshop will be held at the Hotel Barceló Cabo de Gata, located on the beachfront, 10 km from Cabo de Gata Natural Park and 4 km from Almería Airport (which is also a 2-hour drive from Málaga International Airport). Families are warmly welcome, with special discounts available for attendees. Early autumn offers pleasant temperatures, and swimming in the Mediterranean sea is still possible at this time of year. The workshop is hosted by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA-CSIC) under the auspices of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), the University of Almeria and the Calar Alto Astronomical Observatory,
the largest in continental Europe. An excursion to the observatory is planned as part of the program.

- IDL 2025 Update for National Nodes
Dear IDL National Node Contact
We hope you are keeping well, and we would like to thank you for your continued support of the International Day of Light. We have now collated statistics from our 2024 campaign, and you can download our infographic here. We will shortly be releasing our Launch Newsletter for the 2025 International Day of Light, and will be opening up our registration page for 2025 events in early December.
We also wanted to provide you with advance notice of the 2025 theme covering the very broad topic of Light, Innovation, Society. This naturally touches upon many different areas of science, art, and culture, and opens up many possibilities for exciting events and activities. And it is worth noting even now that the International Day of Light in 2025 falls on a Friday, so there are opportunities for events on the day or during the week before, or continuing through the weekend. And as usual, we can recognise events throughout the year.
As we make plans for 16 May 2025, we would like to especially highlight your activities and hard work as National Node contacts. To this end, we would be delighted to have any content or news you wish to promote in our newsletter (that goes out to 1000+ subscribers.) This could relate to plans you may already have for next year, or it could describe instead some results of the 2024 edition that may inspire similar actions for 2025. More generally, the provisional newsletter schedule and deadlines are below. There is no fixed template for newsletter items, but we usually aim for 100-350 words and an image.
April 2025 Newsletter: content due before 18 April 2025
May 2025 Newsletter: content due before 2 May 2025
16 May 2025: International Day of Light Newsletter: content due before 10 May 2025
Finally, if there are any changes to your contact details as National Node, or if you have any other questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us.
