Yearly Meetings
This tears meetimng will be held in La Valetta (Malta) 12-14th October 2011. The website of the meeting can be accessed here. The website of the COST Annual Conference in Grenoble 2010 (6-8 October 2010) can be foundd here.
Working Group (WG) meetings
The three Working groups will hold regular meetings at least once a year. Working Groups will be held preferably before or day after a major event in astrochemistry or Management Committee meeting to save costs.
To vary the programme of these meetings, it is planned that each of these events will organized under a special subject in the field of astrochemistry. Working group meetings are open to any participant from a field related to astrochemistry, but only group and Management Committee members as well as a limited number of invited speakers can be reimbursed for their costs. The reimbursement of the participants should reflect a good balance from the various signatory countries. Each year one of the workshops of the Action should involve Early Stage Researchers (less than PhD + 10 years) to strengthen links with each other and with experienced scientists involved in the management of the Action.

Summer schools
A summer school with the title: Astrochemistry with ALMA will be held from 13-17 June 2011 at Centro Congressi CNR Bologna (Italy).
The School will consist of general introductory lectures which will present the ALMA project and its potential impact on astrochemistry.
The focus will be on chemistry in star forming regions, in envelopes of evolved stars, and in comets.
The School is open to students of all backgrounds (experimental, observational, theoretical) and is meant to provide researchers not actively involved in interferometry with a basic knowledge for a successful use of ALMA.
The website of the school can be accessed here.
Management Committee (MC) meetings
1-2 times per year the Management Committee will hold meetings. Members will be reimbursed for their travel and maintenance costs. Please check the relevant site for further information.
Final Conference
A final conference will be organized to conclude the action. Please check this website for updates.
Other events
Although we will very happily spread the news about other astrochemistry-related conferences, workshops and summer schools, COST does not allocate money to the organization of and participation in such events.
