ASA Meetings

• The Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) held in July each year.
• The Harley Wood Lecture is a public lecture held in association with the ASM, featuring a distinguished local or overseas astronomer.
• The Harley Wood School (HWS) for postgraduate students, is usually held just before the ASM.
• The Summer School on Theoretical Astrophysics for postgraduate students, was held for the first time in January 2008.

Other Australian and International Meetings

The Meetings page of the ASA's Australian Astronomy web site has links to other non-ASA meetings:

• Australian professional astronomy meetings
• Australian amateur astronomy meetings
• International professional astronomy meetings

Financial Arrangements for other meetings

The ASA may occasionally offer its endorsement of non-ASA conferences but the Society does not, in general, offer financial support for conferences other than its own scientific meetings. A Statement of ASA Policy on this issue is available and enquiries should be directed to one of the ASA Secretaries.

The ASA does provide a facility to meeting organisers to aid in financial arrangements for their own (non-ASA) meetings. If required, an existing ASA account can be used by meeting organisers as the account for their meeting. This relieves organisers of the need to open and close accounts with electronic fund transfer facilities. Guidelines are available and enquiries should be directed to the ASA Treasurer.
