Want to give a science talk in La Serena?

The AURA Observatories in Chile – CTIO, Gemini, and SOAR – sponsor a colloquium series on any aspect of astronomical science. The staff would very much like to hear about your work. Our talks are generally scheduled at 4:00pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.  However, because of travel and observing constraints, we can schedule your talk at any time Monday to Friday at a time convenient to you.  We offer per diem and AURA motel room accommodations for our speakers. If you are willing, we would also like to post a copy of your talk in .PDF format on our web page.  This is strictly voluntary, however feel free to say no!.

We invite anyone from the La Serena astronomical community – AURA, University of La Serena, Las Campanas, and ESO Observatories – to attend. We can also schedule IP transmission of any of our talks held in the AURA conference room to external sites around the world.

If interested, please contact  Roberto De Propris (rdepropris@ctio.noao.edu), by e-mail.

In addition to our colloquium series, the combined AURA scientific staff have a staff tea every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:30am (except on days of colloquium) in the Olin G. Eggen Library.  We encourage visitors to join us with any informal science, engineering, or technical topics they would like to present.  Our staff teas are well known to be lively and at times controversial!

Finally, we offer a separate AURA Technical Talk series for visitors who would like to give a talk on any technical aspects of astronomy – instrument development, software design, engineering, site surveys, and the like. Please contact Brooke Gregory (bgregory@noao.edu)
