ATNF Chief Scientist Cath Trott leading the ATNF Town Hall meeting at the 2026 ASA Annual Scientific Meeting

Over the last decade, a regular event at the Annual Scientific Meetings of the Astronomical Society of Australia has been an ATNF Town Hall, and the 2026 ASA Annual Science Meeting at the Australian National University was no exception. The ATNF Town Hall was the last event on the opening day of the meeting, and featured an update presentation from ATNF Chief Scientist, Cath Trott, and a demo of CSIRO’s EASI (Earth Analytics Science & Innovation) science data platform. This was followed by the opportunity to mingle with ATNF staff for more informal discussions and networking.
