The National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) 2022

The University of Warwick, 11th - 15th July 2022 

The Royal Astronomical Society is proud to present the next National Astronomy Meeting, NAM 2022, to be hosted by the University of Warwick from Monday 11th July to Friday 15th July, 2022.

In addition to the UK’s astronomy community, the meeting includes the UK Solar Physics (UKSP), and the Magnetosphere Ionosphere and Solar-Terrestrial (MIST) communities. 

NAM2022 will be a hybrid conference. By using a hybrid model we hope to allow as many people as possible to experience the conference and learn about the exciting astronomy and space science research being conducted around the UK and further afield.

📢 [15-07-2022] That's all folks

That's a wrap for NAM2022! It's been an amazing week of science, with lots of interesting results shared and some major astronomy news being released (thanks NASA). We also had the return of the (in)famous football tournament, and an extensive programme of outreach sessions.

NAM is a community-driven conference - the science programme is, ultimately, decided by what the community wants to talk about. So thank you very much to everyone who attended the conference, whether in-person or online, and to everyone who presented their work at the conference whether in a parallel session or as one of our plenary speakers.

Thank you also to ReAttendance, our audio-visual providers, for their amazing efforts to make the hybrid aspect of NAM work so well even in the face of some small technical difficulties on occassion. 

Finally, thank you to the LOC, the SOC, and all of our volunteers throughout the week - it literally couldn't have happened with you.

See you all in Cardiff next year!
