L’assemblée générale annuelle 2021 de la CASCA (CASCA2021) est un événement entièrement virtuel. La rencontre devait à l’origine être une conférence en présentiel organisée par l’Observatoire fédéral de radioastrophysique à Penticton en Colombie-Britannique.
La thématique de la CASCA2021 est l’astronomie canadienne: on monte d’un cran. Ce thème se veut une réflexion de la vision ambitieuse présentée dans le Plan à long terme, qui élèvera l’astronomie canadienne à un niveau supérieur.
Le comité organisationnel en ligne (OOC) et le comité scientifique (SOC) espèrent vous offrir une conférence captivante et scientifiquement intéressante.
The CASCA2021 organizers are very pleased to announce that Nobel Laureate Andrea Ghez will be giving the Helen Sawyer Hogg Public Lecture.
