The European Astronomical Society (EAS) Annual Meeting (formerly known as EWASS) 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 will be held in Leiden, The Netherlands, from 29 June to 3 July 2020. The conference is expected to welcome more than 1000 astrophysicists from all over Europe and even beyond.
EAS 2020 will also host the NAC 2020 (75th Nederlandse Astronomenconferentie) of the Royal Nederlandse Astronomenclub (NAC) from July 1-3. EAS 2020 participants can participate in NAC 2020 and vice-versa. More details will be available on the EAS 2020 and NAC 2020 websites.
