The ACAMAR 10 Workshop was held from 13 – 15 May 2024 in Guangzhou, China.

This workshop brought together members of the Australian and Chinese astronomy communities to discuss all areas of astronomical collaboration between Australian and China. Workshop themes included:

  • Fast radio bursts, pulsars and gravitational waves
  • Galactic astronomy
  • Facilities (including SKA, ASKAP, MWA, FAST and Antarctic astronomy)
  • Time-domain astronomy
  • Galaxies and cosmology
  • Machine learning, virtual observatories and big data challenges

More can be found on the workshop website.
