Astronomical
Polarimetry 2020 -- New Era of Multi-Wavelength Polarimetry
Hiroshima, Japan, March 23 - 27, 2020
venue: International
Conference Center Hiroshima (Hiroshima city, Japan)
Astronomical
Polarimetry 2020 (Astropol 2020) is the next in a
series of international conferences. The aim of this series of conferences is
to bring researchers interested in astronomical polarimetry together to share
and discuss recent results and advances in technical and scientific aspects in
all relevant astronomical fields. This will be the first time that an Astropol symposium will take place in Asia.
We will have
following five sessions. We invite your contributions on each topics:
[I.] Instrumentation
and Techniques
[II.] Sun, Solar
System, and Exoplanets
[III.] ISM, Molecular
clouds, Star formation
[IV.] Stars:
Circumstellar Matter, Winds and Jets
[V.] Extragalactic
Polarimetry, CMB
Deadlines:
Request for Travel
Grant is open until December 10th, 2019 (Extended Deadline).
December 10th:
Early Registration due date, 34,000 JPYen (27,000 JPY
for students).
January 10th 2020:
Abstract Submission due date and Late Registration due date, 39,000 JPYen (32,000 JPY for students).
Looking
forward to welcoming you in Hiroshima, Japan.

(LIP2020)
This is the 2nd
announcement of the 13th international conference on Laser-light and
Interactions with
Particles
(LIP2020) to be held in Warsaw, Poland, on
August 23-28, 2020.
Extended abstracts
submission started on November 1, 2019 for subjects dealing with:
near-field, far-field and time-resolved electro-magnetic scattering; plasmonics and other resonances; complex shaped particles
and aggregates; laser, acoustical and quantum beams description; multiple
scattering random media, optical particle sizing and characterization methods;
mechanical effects of light. The following application areas will be welcomed:
multi-phase flow characterization; remote sensing for aerosol science and
environment; plasma and soft matter physics; optical tweezers and particle
manipulation; micro rheology and biomedical optical engineering.
