Australian Telescope National Facility Bolton Symposium 2020
10 March 2020, Australian Resources Research Centre (ARRC) Building Lecture Theatre, Kensington, Perth
CSIRO Astronomy & Space Science is holding the 2020 Bolton Symposium on 10 March 2020 at CSIRO-Kensington in Perth. The Bolton Symposium, organised by the current CSIRO Bolton Fellows and named after the first director of the Parkes telescope John Gatenby Bolton (1922-1993), provides a forum for early-career researchers (ECRs) to showcase their excellent science, find out what friends and colleagues are up to, develop and strengthen collaborations, and get the most out of their time. The goal of this year’s Bolton Symposium is to build and strengthen connections between CASS astronomers (particularly ECR) and the wider Australian astronomical community. As such, we want to focus on the sharing of the existing expertise throughout the community with our promising ECRs!
What will happen at the Symposium?
The morning will be devoted to short research summary talks. For the senior researchers, this means short (1-2 min) summaries of their research expertise and experience. For the ECRs, this means presenting a summary of their research and a current challenge that they are facing in a short (3-5 min). The afternoon session will then feature an active workshop where teams are created to share knowledge and work on overcoming the current challenges the ECRs presented in the morning. The day will then culminate with an afternoon happy hour allowing everyone to further connect, network, and socialise.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested! ECRs (HDR students and postdocs) are strongly encouraged to submit a current research challenge to workshop in the afternoon session. The expectation is that everyone in attendance will present a short talk either on their expertise (for senior researchers) or on a challenge (for ECRs) and the titles will be submitted as part of the registration.Code of Conduct
