Upcoming Science with the Hubble & Webb Conference

7 March 2024

- Chris Evans -

The Science with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes VII: Stars, Gas and Dust in the Universe conference will be held in Porto, Portugal from 29 April to 2 May 2024. This is the latest in our series of ESA-sponsored conferences that showcase the science from these two flagship missions. A particular motivation and focus for the conference is that we are in the remarkable position of having both Hubble and Webb in science operations at the same time. Their unique capabilities are now combining to give us spectacular new views of the Universe, which are complemented by multi-wavelength observations from a diverse range of ground and other space facilities.

The objectives of the conference are to:

• highlight the latest Hubble and Webb results in studies of stars, gas and dust over all scales, with a focus on results with strong synergies between the two missions and with other facilities;
• identify key topics for new programmes and initiatives that will harness the powerful combined capabilities of these two observatories; 
• explore future synergies of Hubble and Webb with other existing and planned facilities; and
• look ahead to the future scientific questions that will shape astrophysics in the 2030s and beyond.

The provisional programme for the conference is now available here. Although the abstract deadline for in-person participation has passed, the conference will be run as a hybrid meeting, with the talks streamed for remote participants. If you would like to join the conference remotely, virtual registration is available at the registration page.
