The 2013 RAS National Astronomy meeting, with UKSP and MIST, will be held at the University of St Andrews from 1-5 July 2013. Registration and Abstract Submission are now open at:
In particular, note that both the abstract submission deadline and the guaranteed reduced-rate accommodation deadline are approaching rapidly!
Abstract Submission Deadline: 19 March 2013
Reduced rate accommodation Deadline: 1 April 2013
Early Bird Registration Rate: 29 April 2013
Information about the programme,travel and accommodation is available on the website. A heavily discounted registration rate is available for students.
