Users Meeting 2023

The2023 JCMT science/users meeting will be held from 30th May to 1st June at University College London. There will be the opportunity to either attend the meeting in person or remotely. The meeting will have a programme of talks and posters about current JCMT science and instrumentation, and we will also discuss future submillimetre science projects and instrumentation. If there is enough demand, we will also arrange hands-on tuition sessions for JCMT software. If you would like to attend the meeting, please register at https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7029255/JCMT-Users-Meeting-2023.
At the registration site, you can also submit a title and an abstract if you would like to give an oral presentation or a poster. The deadline for registering for the conference (there is no registration fee) is March 31st.

We will make rooms available for teams that are carrying out current JCMT Large Programmes and for those who wish to discuss future Large Programmes. If you would like to use room for such discussions, please send your request to: JCMT_UM_2023@eaobservatory.org.

You can find the latest agenda of the users meeting below. Please note that we will have parallel sessions in the Day3 (June 1st) afternoon.
If you have any questions about the meeting, please contact the chair of the Scientific Organising Committee Steve Eales (steve.a.eales@gmail.com), or send emails to JCMT_UM_2023@eaobservatory.org.
