   First Announcement for EAMA11

   (11th East Asia Meeting on Astronomy)

     Dec 8 -- Dec 12, 2025

   @ Toki Messe, Niigata, Japan

=========================================

We are delighted to announce and invite you to the 11th East Asia Meeting on Astronomy (EAMA11), which will be held in Japan at TOKI MESSE (Niigata Convention Center) in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, from December 8 to 12, 2025.

<RATIONALE>

The East-Asia Meeting on Astronomy (EAMA) series was initially established to bring together East Asian astronomers to foster regional collaboration in research and development. The previous meeting, EAMA10, was held in 2016, with subsequent gatherings postponed partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. EAMA11, the upcoming gathering hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), will broaden its scope to encompass astronomical researchers across Asia and beyond, providing a valuable platform for researchers to reconnect, share ideas, and promote collaboration. We solicit talks on regional activities, current and upcoming large-scale facilities, recent scientific discoveries, astronomy education and public outreach. We encourage regional researchers to actively participate, build lasting friendships, and develop future collaborative projects.
