EAS Annual Meeting 2025

The European Astronomical Society Annual General Meeting is set to take place from 23-27 June 2025 in University College Cork.
Set to be the largest astronomical conference ever held in Ireland, Stargazers from across the globe will descend on Cork this June typically attracting over 1,500 participants.
EAS, which promotes and advances the science of astronomy in Europe, has over 5,000 members, making it the biggest professional astronomers’ organisation in Europe. The Cork Convention Bureau estimates the conference could inject up to €2.8 million into the local economy with 1,200-1,400 hotel rooms booked across the city.
Additionally, several public astronomy events are planned throughout the week.
EAS who organise Europe's largest gatherings of astronomers create these meetings to provide a platform for astronomers to discuss the latest discoveries and research, assess progress in developing world-leading European astronomical facilities, and honour distinguished researchers with some of the most prestigious prizes in European astronomy.
Professor Paul Callanan, Head, School of Physics, UCC has stated:
“We are very excited to be hosting this event, Europe’s premier astronomical meeting, which will put UCC, Cork and Ireland very much at the heart of European astronomy for a week in June 2025”.
With abstract submissions due by 3rd March 2025, further details on the event and further important deadlines can be found here.
