Please note the upcoming deadline (5 Dec 2012) for those wishing to apply= for travel support via the IAU. Yours, Nicholas Walton =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= IAU 298 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D SETTING THE SCENE FOR Gaia AND LAMOST - THE CURRENT AND NEXT GENERATIONS OF SURVEYS AND MODELS Place: Lijiang, China (Yunnan province) Time: 20 - 24 May 2013 The formation and evolution of galaxies is a key topic in contemporary astrophysics. With the transformational opportunities offered by on-going= and next generation surveys IAU is offering a symposium that focuses on the interplay between surveys, observing techniques, advances in abundance analysis, and our theoretical understanding of galaxy formation, is very timely. The symposium focuses on the promise of current and future l= arge surveys, including Gaia in the context of all other on-going efforts, both observational as well as theoretical. The SOC wishes to dedicate this IAU Symposium to Birgitta Nordstr=88m and Johannes Andersen for their numerous contributions to Galactic astronomy. * 5 December 2012: Online Grant Application Closes * 15 February 2013: Online Abstract Submission Closes * 28 February 2013: Deadline for early registration More about the program and the meeting can be found at:http://iaus298.csp= .escience.cn For the SOC Sofia Feltzing and Gang Zhao (Co-chairs) SOC: Emilio J.
