한국천문연구원 대형망원경사업단에서는 2015년부터 8.1m Gemini 망원경을 한국천문학계의 연구에 활용할 수 있도록 제공하고 있습니다. 이와 관련하여 Gemini 사용자 커뮤니티가 함께 모이는 국제학회를 2015년 6월 캐나다 토론토에서 개최합니다. 한국천문학계가 Gemini 사용자 커뮤니티에 참여하기 시작하는 이번 학회의 의미를 잘 살릴 수 있도록 회원 여러분들의 많은 관심과 참여를 부탁드립니다.

  The Future & Science of Gemini Observatory
                           Toronto, 14-18 June 2015
 
Registration is now open for the next Gemini Science and User Meeting, which will be held in Toronto, 14-18 June 2015. The Gemini Science Meeting occurs every three years. The theme of this year's meeting is "The Future & Science of Gemini Observatory." The meeting will cover a range of exciting scientific results from the international community, such as:  Solar System, Exoplanets, Galactic astronomy, The Nearby Universe, Cosmic Explosions, AGNs and QSOs, and Distant Galaxies and Cosmology.
 
If you have used Gemini data in the past several years,  or are interested in finding out more about the  capabilities of the Observatory, please consider attending. At the User meeting there will be discussions on the next-generation instruments, observing modes and synergies with other facilities as the Observatory looks ahead to 2020 and beyond. In particular, the Gemini Instrument Feasibility Study (GIFS) teams will present their studies for the next Gemini instrument and your feedback is requested on the different concepts to be proposed.
 
Abstract and Early Registration (reduced fee) deadlines are both March 4, 2015.  For further information on the program, registration, abstract submission, and the venue,  see: http://www.gemini.edu/fsg15
