Dear All,

On behalf of the SOC of IAU Symposium 298 - I would like to draw your att=
ention to
this upcoming IAU Symposium - likely to be of interest to many in the GRE=
AT community.
Please note the upcoming deadline (5 Dec 2012) for those wishing to apply=
 for travel support via the IAU.

Yours, Nicholas Walton

		 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
