Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous workshops held in 2009, 2011,
2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023, we are delighted to announce the 8th
Workshop on Robotic Autonomous Observatories (AstroRob2025). The
workshop will take place in El Toyo (Almeria), Spain, from October 6
to 10, 2025.

Sixteen years after the inaugural workshop in Malaga, robotic and
autonomous astronomical observatories have achieved remarkable
advancements. The global number of automated facilities has grown
substantially, along with their capabilities in robotization,
autonomy, and networking. These developments, driven by the search for
electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves (such as the
groundbreaking detection in 2017), have profoundly influenced diverse
areas of astrophysics and beyond, including:

Fireball detection
Minor planet studies
Exoplanet searches
Monitoring variable stars in the Galaxy
Studying active galactic nuclei
Supernova detection and monitoring
Rapid follow-up of high-energy transients like gamma-ray bursts
Electromagnetic counterparts to neutrino and gravitational waves

The workshop will also highlight the increasing importance of space
debris surveillance and tracking, the observation of Near-Earth
Objects, the role of robotic observatories in public outreach and
education, and their contributions to open science.

The Scientific Organizing Committee aims to deliver a dynamic program
addressing scientific, technical, educational, and outreach themes.

We encourage researchers, engineers, educators, and enthusiasts
working in these fields to join us at AstroRob2025. The success of
this workshop series has been largely due to the active participation,
insightful presentations, and engaging discussions contributed by its
attendees. Your involvement is key to making the forthcoming workshop
as fruitful and inspiring as previous editions.

1) VENUE AND LOGISTICS

The workshop will be held at the Hotel Barceló Cabo de Gata, located
on the beachfront, 10 km from Cabo de Gata Natural Park and 4 km from
Almería Airport (which is also a 2-hour drive from Málaga
International Airport). Families are warmly welcome, with special
discounts available for attendees. Early autumn offers pleasant
temperatures, and swimming in the Mediterranean sea is still possible
at this time of year.

The workshop is hosted by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia
(IAA-CSIC) under the auspices of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC),
the University of Almeria and the Calar Alto Astronomical Observatory,
the largest in continental Europe. An excursion to the observatory is
planned as part of the program.
