Science with Large Optical Spectroscopic Surveys: Science with 4MOST The 4MOST consortium invites the astronomical community to a workshop on Science with Large Area Spectroscopic Surveys to develop the specific needs for spectroscopic survey facilities in the next decade. This three-day workshop (13-15 Nov 2012) held at the AIP, Potsdam, will enable discussions between scientists from all astronomical fields from both inside and outside the 4MOST consortium, in order to ensure that the capabilities and observational strategies of 4MOST will satisfy the largest range of science opportunities as foreseen by the broader astronomical community. |

The application of photonics to astronomy for astronomers and photonicistsProspective participants, of any level of seniority, are invited to submit a short abstract of up to 400 words for a poster to be exhibited during the summer school. The poster may report research results or describe work in progress including research plans for new students. Invitations to applicants will be issued after the abstract deadline of 12 August after review by the Science Organising Committee. Preference will be given to abstracts dealing with the main theme of the school - the application of photonics to astronomy. |

| 2011 June 20-23 | Opto-mechanical Design in Astronomy: an international summer school in Potsdam The scope of the Summer School "Opto-mechanical Design in Astronomy" is to learn about opto-mechanical designs of optical-IR and radio telescopes based on fundamental knowledge of mechanical, optical and thermal processes. In particular we plan to employ existing multi-national large projects like the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), and the 64m Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) as examples for real engineering applications. The student will become familiar with computer-aided methods of finite element analysis, Zemax optical ray tracing, computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis. The school will be held at the Babelsberg campus of the AIP in Potsdam and will be open to an international auditorium. |

| 2010 Aug 22-26 | IAUS 273: Physics of Sun and Star Spots Physics of Sun and Star Spots is the first IAU symposium to bring together these two research fields in order to exchange information and promote greater understanding in each field. With plenty of past and current research as well as new instrumentation coming online, this is an exciting time for the study of both sun and star spots. Science topics include the formation and decay of sunspots, solar and stellar magnetism, observational techniques, and a unified approach to understanding sun and star spots. |

| 2009 Dec 08-09 | 12th MHD Days in Potsdam The 12th MHD Days are hosted by the Astrophysical Institute of Potsdam, Germany, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 8-9 December, 2009. The workshop focuses on astrophysical and geophysical MHD problems and is open for any related topic of MHD flows and experiments. The conference venue is the lecture hall of the AIP. The conference language is English. |

| 2009 Sep 21-25 | 82nd Annual Meeting of the AG: Deciphering the Universe through Spectroscopy Spectroscopy has a long tradition in Potsdam and is a key method in modern astrophysical research throughout all wavelengths. Applications range from the measurements of magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun over detailed measurements of abundances in stellar atmospheres to the kinematics of the universe on its largest scales. Spectroscopic facilities are key utilities on space and ground based telescopes, and future observational landmarks such as ALMA and the E-ELT primarily focus on spectroscopic methods. The 82nd Annual Meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft (AG) in the International Year of Astronomy 2009 is devoted to 'Deciphering the Universe through Spectroscopy'. |

| 2009 May 05-08 | Overcoming Great Barriers in Galactic Archaeology This workshop of the AAO, the AIP, the ANU, and the Univ. of Sydney will discuss the study of the history of our Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group using large-scale surveys of the velocities and physical parameters of stars. What was the sequence and process of formation of the Galaxy? What can we learn from substructures identified in the disc and halo of our Galaxy? How do galactic bulges form? Can we find examples of the first stars in our Galaxy, and how do they relate to the formation of the metal-poor galactic halo? How is the chemistry of stars related to their ages? And, most fundamentally, what can our Galaxy tell us about the validity of our cosmological standard model (and thus the nature of dark matter and dark energy) on small scales? The workshop will also have the pleasant additional function of celebrating the contributions of Professors Mike Bessell and John Norris of the Australian National University. |

| 2008 Sep 2-6 | 8th RHESSI Workshop RHESSI is a NASA Small Explorer Mission dedicated to the study of particle acceleration and explosive energy release in solar flares. The satellite was launched by a Pegasus rocket into a low earth orbit on February 5, 2002. The 8th RHESSI Workshop will take place at the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP), situated in the Babelsberg suburb of Potsdam, Germany, on September 2-6, 2008. The event is being organized by the AIP Solar Radio Group. |

| 2007 Sep 17-21 | ARENA Conference: The Astrophysical Science Cases at Dome C This 2nd Conference is essentially dedicated to identify and consolidate the best science cases that would motivate the implementation of a world class astronomical observatory in Antarctica based at the CONCORDIA station on Dome C which offers unique ground-based atmospheric conditions to achieve observations that would normally only be possible in space. The conference will emphasize the scientific areas of astrophysics in which Antarctic conditions would provide unique new data not otherwise obtainable neither from ground nor space. |
