This three weeks school will consist of several courses in the multiple disciplines involved in ACO plus hands-on projects. Its goal is to provide a common ground to PhD students and prepare them to the highly interdisciplinary environment of in astrochemistry and the Solar System formation.
The school is mandatory for all ACO PhD students and will be open to a limited number of PhD students from Europe.
Overview of the courses: Instruments to detect and study molecular lines in the (…)

The Grenoble University Space Center (CSUG) organizes scientific and industrial workshops during the Grenoble NewSpace Week from 14 until 17 May 2019.
This workshop focuses on advanced payloads, subsystem designs, their standardization, and supporting technology like data management, data analysis, and artificial intelligence that together make highly ambitious NewSpace missions possible in different fields like: Earth observation, climate studies, space weather, or exobiology.
As such (…)

In nature as well as in many technical applications, one encounters the sometimes problematic phenomenon of intermittent dynamics, associated to avalanches, that are complex geometrical objects on scales that can span many orders of magnitude. This workshop aims at bringing together experts from various different fields to develop further the understanding of the nonlinear spatio-temporal response of avalanche systems and to find ways to define precursors that could help to prevent (…)

The AMMA-CATCH observatory invites you to an international conference on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. The expected participants are researchers, teacher-researchers, doctoral students and decision-makers.
Global changes are taking place on our planet. They concern the critical zone of the earth system, and occur at different scales. Their impacts on the energy and water cycles are already detectable, but how will these changes persist in the future and at which rate?

Speaker: Reinhard Genzel (MPE Garching & UC Berkeley)
The Center of our Galaxy is a unique laboratory for exploring the astrophysics around a massive black hole and testing General Relativity and other theoretical concepts in this extreme environment. I will discuss the results of a major campaign of observing the Galactic Center in 2017/2108 with three instruments at the European Southern Observatory’s VLT, including the novel GRAVITY interferometric beam combiner of the 4 UTs. (…)
