SCAR AAA 2025

Astronomy & Astrophysics from Antarctica (AAA) is an Expert Group of SCAR, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The objectives of AAA are to provide a venue to discuss, promote and coordinate astronomical and astrophysical activities in Antarctica to optimize outcomes from international investments, and to maximize the opportunities for productive interactions with other disciplines.

This is the eighth meeting in the series. Prior meetings include AAA2011 in Sydney, Australia; AAA2013 at the Certosa di Pontignano, Italy; AAA2015 in Hawaii, USA; AAA2017 in Chiang Mai, Thailand; AAA2019 in the Aosta Valley, Italy; AAA2021 held remotely and hosted by the University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA; and AAA2023 in Svalbard, Norway. Building on the success of these prior SCAR AAA meetings, and the XXXV SCAR Biennial Meeting Open Science Conference theme ("Where the Poles come together"), those with interest in either the Arctic or Antarctic research are encouraged to attend. 

The workshop will take place at Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket in Phuket, Thailand.
