Porto, Portugal
The aim of this conference is to bring together astronomers
interested in several aspects of "non-sleepiness" at stellar and
interstellar scales. Topics include:
Our aim, in gathering astronomers involved in studying different aspects of the "non-sleeping universe", is an attempt to establish a favourable environment for new ideas and views to surface. Many of these aspects are topics of research at the Centre for Astrophysics of the University of Porto, therefore providing one of the motivations for organizing such a conference.
The conference lasts two and a half days.
Please, see the specifications for the contributions included in the programme.
The Programme is the following ([IS] - Invited Speaker):
