    • ASTROMOL CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS

    • II National Conference on Laboratory and Molecular Astrophysics
    • Date: 14-16 November, 2012
    • Place of event: Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Sevilla, España)
    • Brief summary: This conference encompassed Astronomy, Physics, and Chemistry to deal with the income of new instrumental developments in the Chemical-Physics Laboratories that will grant access to a series of experiments whose results will be most relevant for the interpretation and analysis of the data obtained with Herschel and ALMA. 100 participants attended the conference with the special participation of 9 national and international invited speakers.
    • Local Organising Committee: Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA), Observatorio Astronómico Nacional (IGN).
    • The Molecular Universe (International Astronomical Union IAU  Symposium number 280)
    • Date: 30 May – 3 June, 2011
    • Place: Campus de la Fábrica de Armas de Toledo (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Toledo, España)
    • Brief summary: This symposium covered the entire field of astrochemistry in order to make investigators aware of the many new advances of the last 6 years, and to acquaint them with the explosive growth in the subject to be coming in the next few years in the ALMA, JWST and ELT eras. A summary of the symposium attendance is the following:
      -Number of participants: 435 researchers from 31 countries worldwide (number of pre-registered participants: 525)
      -Number of review and invited contributions: 42 contributions
      -Number of oral contributions: 32 contributions
      -Number of poster contributions: 327 contributions (three special-dedicated poster sessions)
    • Organisation: IAU, Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA), Observatorio Astronómico Nacional (IGN) and Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (UCLM).
