XXXIII IAU General Assembly
The IAU General Assembly brings together the international astronomy community for symposia, focus meetings and broader scientific exchange. The preliminary programme includes computational astrophysics, CTAO, planet formation, stellar populations, low-surface-brightness astronomy and AI methods. Registration opened on 15 September 2026. Standard talk/poster abstracts and participation-grant applications close on 15 January 2027; early registration closes on 5 March. Session details remain subject to confirmation.
Atlantic Basin Conference on Chemistry
The third Atlantic Basin Conference on Chemistry brings together chemical societies and researchers from the Americas, Europe and Africa. Its 2026 theme is Chemistry for Global Impact: Strategic Partnerships for Sustainable Innovation. The meeting runs from 6–9 December at the Windsor Barra Hotel and Windsor Expo Center in Rio de Janeiro, with scientific communication in English. The programme includes technical, plenary and poster sessions. Registration is open; early registration and presenter registration close on 25 September, with later attendee registration available. ACS administers registration on behalf of the organizing societies.
HFSP Accelerator Grant 2027
The HFSP Accelerator Grant helps eligible HFSP Research Grant teams add an independent group leader from an underrepresented eligible country, bringing complementary expertise and strengthening international life-science collaboration.
NMC4 Panel: NMC Around the Globe
For the first time, we are holding a NMC around the globe session, a panel of computational neuroscientists working in different continents who are willing to discuss their challenges and milestones in doing science and training researchers in their home country. We hope that our panelists can share their barriers, what they define as accomplishments and how they would like the future of computational neuroscience to evolve locally and internationally with our diverse NMC audience.
Scientific Exchange Grants
EMBO supports short international research visits that establish new collaborations and transfer expertise between laboratories. Grants cover travel and subsistence for 7–90 days, with support determined by destination and duration. Applications are accepted throughout the year and must arrive at least 30 days before the visit; three months is recommended. Applicants need at least one year of graduate-level research experience and must meet the programme’s country and laboratory eligibility rules. Existing collaborations and visits to former laboratories or supervisors are excluded. Recipients must return to their home laboratory for at least six consecutive months. Courses, conferences, bench fees and overheads are not covered.
