Past Events

Nov 16 – 20, 2015 WORKSHOP: Jets and Winds in Pulsar Wind Nebulae, Gamma-ray Bursts and Blazars: Physics of Extreme Energy Release

International Space Science Institute ISSI, Hallerstrasse 6, 3012 Bern, Switzerland (map)

Description

The Workshop is devoted to an in-depth discussion of complex and multi-scale fundamental studies of astrophysical objects with extreme energy release via multi-wavelength observations and modeling. The compact stellar remnants of supernova fast rotating black holes and neutron stars - are able to give rise, with their ultra-relativistic jets and winds, the rapid release of a large amount of energy, such as observed in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters, as well as long-lasting, quasi-steady, high energy sources such as pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and blazars.

Nov 30 – Dec 4, 2015 WORKSHOP: HISPAC High Precision Clock in Space Science

International Space Science Institute ISSI, Hallerstrasse 6, 3012 Bern, Switzerland (map)

The main objective is to discuss a possible technology transfer across disciplines. The idea is to bring together scientists from space research and ground development, from time transfer techniques and radio-science missions; from the time/frequency community, as well as from the Earth sciences, fundamental physics and solar system exploration communities, in order to study, e.g., by extensive numerical simulation, possible improvements in applications when including local clock measurements at 10-18 (1 cm level in geopotential height difference). The outcome would be proposals for improvements (if any) in a number of research fields. For example, in Earth sciences, improvements could concern global and regional gravity field models, with specific geophysical applications when using in combination different satellite data (GOCE, GRACE, etc.), ground gravimetry and levelling, precise positioning, etc. New proposals for solar-system exploration and for fundamental physics are also expected outcomes of this workshop., Workshop

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO TO HOST INTERNATIONAL ASTRONAUTICAL CONGRESS IAC 2016

26-30 September 2016

On 27 September 2013 at the 64th IAC in Beijing, China, the IAF General Assembly convened and voted for Guadalajara, Mexico, to be the host city for IAC 2016.

The IAC in 2016 is expected to attract 3,000 delegates and contribute to the state’s visitor economy.

For the organisers, the Mexican Space Agency, this is the culmination of a four-year bid process. Guadalajara is the second biggest city of the country. Guadalajara will be provided the opportunity to show why it is called the “Silicon Valley of Mexico” and to show why it is also wellknown as the cultural heart of Mexico.

The Director-General of the Mexican Space Agency, Mr Francisco Javier Mendieta Jiménez, said that the Mexican Space Agency (AEM) will look to contribute to the solution of the great social challenges in matters of competitiveness, education, equity, health, digital inclusion and environmental sustainability. This is why Mexico proposed to host the IAC2016 under the motto: “Making space accessible and affordable to all countries”. The AEM believes that bringing the IAC in 2016 to this region of the world will contribute positively and give an additional boost to the efforts of involved emerging nations into a new era of international collaboration to solve common problems using space science and technology.

AUSTRALIA

25-29 September 2017, ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA TO HOST IAC 2017

The IAF General Assembly at IAC 2014 Toronto, voted on Friday 3 October to hold IAC 2017 in Adelaide, Australia.

The successful bid was made by the Adelaide Convention Bureau, in partnership with The Space Industry Association of Australia (SIAA) and State Government of South Australia. The IAC in September 2017 is expected to attract 3,000 delegates, including 200 astronauts, and contribute AUD$18m (US$15.8m) to the state’s visitor economy. Lockheed Martin Corporation will be the anchor sponsor of the Congress.

For the organisers this is the culmination of a four-year bid process, including an unsuccessful bid for the 2014 event. The organisers beat strong competition from Germany (Bremen), USA (Orlando), Turkey (Istanbul) and Ireland (Dublin) in their bid to secure what will be the largest congress ever to be hosted by Adelaide.

Brett Biddington, the leader of the Adelaide bid team, said that he, the team as a whole and the wider Australian space community were delighted and humbled by the confidence and trust placed in them by IAF members in Toronto to produce a memorable IAC in Adelaide in 2017. He said that all of the four contenders to host the IAC in 2017 had the capacity to do so and that the key differentiator, leaving the geographical factor aside, was the clarity of Australia’s strategy and purpose. He also said that the competition had caused the Adelaide team to work harder which had led to a better bid.

Looking ahead, Brett said that planning was already under way and that the aim of the LOC is to have the IAC 2017 Execution Plan essentially in place within a few months. An important early task will be to confirm the 2017 Congress theme and to design and select a logo that can be unveiled at the Paris Spring meetings in March 2015.
