RATIONALE: The East-Asian Meeting on Astronomy (EAMA) series was initially established to bring together East Asian astronomers to foster regional collaboration in research and development. The previous meeting, EAMA10, was held in 2016, with subsequent gatherings postponed partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. EAMA11, the upcoming gathering hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), will broaden its scope to encompass astronomical researchers across Asia and beyond, providing a valuable platform for researchers to reconnect, share ideas, and promote collaboration. We solicit talks on regional activities, current and upcoming large-scale facilities, recent scientific discoveries, astronomy education and public outreach. We encourage regional researchers to actively participate, build lasting friendships, and develop future collaborative projects.
MEETING TOPICS: Regional Activities Projects and Instrumentation Cosmology and Galaxy Formation Supermassive Blackholes and Active Galactic Nuclei Diffuse Interstellar Medium Star Formation and Exoplanets Astrophysics of Sun and Stars High Energy Astrophysics Multi-Messenger and Time-domain Astronomy Outreach and Education
