IAU HEADQUARTERS
 
 
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the call for Letters of Intent (LoI) for IAU
Scientific Meetings (Symposia and Focus Meetings) to be held in 2027, is now
open. LoIs can be submitted using the on-line form available here, with a
deadline of September 15, 2025, 11:59pm CEST (UTC + 2h). Following the LoI
submission, the call to submit full proposals will open on September 16,
2025 with a deadline of December 1st, 2025. 
As you know, 2027 is the year of the IAU General Assembly (GA), which will
be held in Rome, Italy, from August 10 to August 19. The IAU Executive
Committee (EC) expects to approve up to nine 2027 Symposia and 12 Focus
Meetings (FMs). All FMs and six of the Symposia will take place during the
2027 GA, at the GA venue. Each of the six GA Symposia (three of which will
be held during the first week of the GA, and three during the second), is
expected to comprise nine 1.5 hour sessions, plus posters and a plenary. In
addition, the EC expects to approve up to 12 more specialized GA FMs, each
nominally comprising six 1.5 hour sessions (plus posters). FMs are proposed
by groups of scientists with an aim to promote cross-disciplinary
interactions while maintaining a well-defined focus on a particular
topic. They often address a new scientific area or an emerging
field not well, or not at all, represented by the existing IAU Commissions.
Finally, the EC expects to approve up to three 2027 Symposia not associated
with the GA. These are subject to the same requirements as Symposia held in
non-GA years, although they should not, if at all possible, be
scheduled within three months of the GA. While all GA Symposia (and FMs)
must be held in person (with the possibility of having a hybrid option
currently being discussed), it is possible (but not required) to request an
on-line only format for non-GA Symposia.
Before preparing an LoI, please read carefully the Rules & Guidelines for
IAU Scientific Meetings. Also note that since the IAU places emphasis on
obtaining a balanced program of meetings, both scientifically and
geographically, proposers are encouraged to consult the list of past
Symposia and Focus Meetings and future accepted Symposia to avoid (or
carefully justify) obvious duplications.
Note that submission of an LoI is not mandatory, but it is recommended. All
LoIs received by the September 15 deadline will be posted on the IAU website
by September 30 to facilitate coordination and collaborations. 

We look forward to receiving your LoIs and to a productive and exciting 2027
scientific programme!
Best regards,
Laura
