About the EAS Annual Meeting (formerly EWASS)

The European Astronomical Society (EAS) Annual Meeting (formerly known as EWASS, and earlier JENAM) has more than 25 years of tradition and it has imposed itself as the largest conference for European astronomy. In addition to plenary sessions and the award of prestigious prizes, the conference hosts many symposia held in parallel, as well as special sessions and meetings.

The EAS, often together with one of its affiliated societies, organises its annual meeting to enhance its links with national communities, to broaden connections between individual members and to promote European networks.

EAS 2020 should have been held in Leiden, The Netherlands, from 29 June to 3 July 2020. Due to the COVID-19 situation in Europe and the world, the meeting is moving to a virtual meeting.

EAS 2020 will also host the NAC 2020 (75th Nederlandse Astronomenconferentie) of the Royal Nederlandse Astronomenclub (NAC). EAS 2020 participants can participate in NAC 2020 and vice-versa.

Ethics and Anti-harassment statement

The EAS considers its annual meetings to be a privileged occasion for free and frank interchange of scientific ideas, as well as for the nurturing and creation of professional and social contacts. Any abuse of power or inappropriate behaviour has no place at EAS 2020.

On 23 January 2018, EAS Council has adopted the EAS Ethics Statement and Guidelines for Good Practice. These will apply during EAS 2020 and all participants are urged to read the document and follow its recommendations.
