The restless Universe

The central theme of this year's annual conference is the time domain in all fields of astrophysics and in all electromagnetic frequency ranges as well as in observations of other information carriers. The German Centre for Astrophysics (DZA), which is currently being founded, invites you to Görlitz from 15 to 19 September 2025.

The conference in Görlitz will be the first annual conference of the German Astronomical Society to be held in Saxony in 100 years. Görlitz is the seat of the newly founded German Centre for Astrophysics (DZA). The DZA not only stands for attractive and pioneering astrophysical research, but also for related developments in the fields of technology and data science. As a major national research centre, the DZA will also serve the entire astrophysical community. In the initial phase, the DZA will be dedicated to time-domain astrophysics, with a particular focus on compact objects across the mass scale.

The scientific programme of the conference consists of invited overview talks, splinter meetings, a ‘Townhall Meeting’ on the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 2040 strategy and poster presentations. Registration for the conference in Görlitz and for scientific contributions is possible via the conference website:
