2nd Astro Postdoc Symposium

Thursday 12 Nov 2026, 10:30 → 19:00 Asia/Shanghai

Tsung-Dao Lee Institute/N6F-N600 - Lecture Room (Tsung-Dao Lee Institute)

This symposium aims to bring together all postdocs from the Astronomy and Astrophysics division, getting to know each other and seeing what people are working on. No pressure — just a relaxing space to share, listen, and hang out with fellow postdocs. We will have dinner together after the symposium.

Everyone is welcome — postdocs, students,  faculty, anyone who's curious.
