For Speakers

We recommend that you arrive at the observatory at 10:30 a.m. on the day of your seminar so you can settle in, have some coffee, and talk with the observatory staff.

A presentation of approximately 50 minutes is ideal; we aim for a total duration of one hour, including Q&A.

Your audience will consist of members from various research teams (ranging from planetary science to cosmology), as well as engineers.

The audience will range from master’s students, doctoral candidates, and postdocs to tenured researchers.

The preferred language is English.
