Euclid 2023

The annual meeting of Euclid Consortium will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 19-23, 2023. The meeting is hosted by the DTU Space at CPH Conference.

We hope as many as possible will be able to join us in person in Copenhagen, but it will also be possible to follow the meeting online (for a lower fee). All plenary sessions will be streamed, and it’s open for online participants to ask questions to the speakers through the chat. All parallel sessions will be open for participants to watch and also contribute to the discussion (as in a normal Zoom session). There is a dedicated Slack-channel and Redmine workspace open for all participants.

Code of Conduct

The Euclid Consortium (EC) is a large collaboration composed of people from different backgrounds and cultures. Its ability to provide excellent service to the astronomical community is enhanced by establishing an inclusive consortium culture. Embracing differences and fostering an inclusive environment creates opportunities for participation and innovation and contributes to a productive, high-achieving workforce.

The CoC has recently been updated. Please note especially the new paragraph covering Euclid meetings e.g. the Euclid conference: Be kind to others at all times. Do not insult or put down other attendees, be it publicly or privately. Feedback should always be provided in a positive and constructive manner.

EC Meeting Monday Events

Garage Day

Garage Day is an all-day meeting lead by the SGS scientist to discuss problems and find solutions to pending issues at the interfaces of SGS with the other groups of Euclid (SWGs, ISTs, IDTs).  Garage Day topics and attendance is organised by the SGS scientist (Hervé Aussel) on a dedicated Garage Day Redmine page. Please check there for the detailed topics and the agenda.

EC Sprint Day

EC Sprint Day will be an all-day face-to-face collaborative meeting for EC members to work in the same space on Euclid project tasks.  This event is open to anyone and is a great opportunity to get involved in ongoing or new projects. Tasks could range from software hack sessions to onboarding new members to brain-storming sessions.  If you’re interested to participate as an attendee or to lead a sprint session, please visit the Redmine Events page to access the registration form.

ECC Workshop

The Early Career Committee will host the 7th Early Career workshop on Monday afternoon, 19th of June. Everyone that identifies as an early career researcher is welcome to attend and register via the ECC Redmine page. The workshop consists of two 1.5h sessions. In the first part, guests with a PhD in a scientific field will talk about their experience in academia and/or in the private sector. This will be an occasion for discussion and advising on the challenges young researchers may face in career transition or advancement in both sectors. The second part will be dedicated to the 3rd Question and Answer session with the Euclid Consortium Board leads Jason Rhodes and/or Marc Sauvage. This is a great opportunity for a direct interaction with the ECB, and raise any questions or issues faced by young researchers in the Euclid Consortium.

Poster Presentations
There will be an opportunity to present a poster of your work at this year’s Euclid Consortium Meeting. Because of constraints at the venue, 20 posters can be displayed at once, meaning we will make a poster-rota in order to display as many posters as possible.

If you are interested in this possibility, please fill in the following form before May 15. We will let you know as soon as possible, which days you can display your poster.

Presentation Guidelines

UPLOADING SPEAKER PRESENTATION
Please bring your presentation either on a USB-stick or upload it to the Dropbox (instructions below).

It is also possible to bring your presentation on your own computer and connect it directly to the host computer. For a pleasant and streamlined conference, it is very important that you have your presentation ready before connecting to the host computer. 

An assistant will help you upload the presentation to the computer.
Your presentation should be power point, 16:9 format

Please make sure to upload your presentation at least 2 hours before your session starts to make sure you are ready to start on time. This will also allow you to get used to the session room, the microphone, and other technical aspects (sharing via Zoom).

For keynote users: Please upload your presentation in time via drop box. A MacBook will be available in the plenary session room.
Please bring your own MacBook, if your presentation is during the splinter sessions.

Dropbox
Please upload your presentation HERE.

Naming your folder:
DATEOFPRESENTATION(DATE_MONTH) _SPEAKERNAME_SESSIONTITLE

Kindly note that the correct naming is very important for a smooth conference. 

For questions, please contact Amina von Eitzen (ave@cap-partner.eu).

We ask you to upload your slides as soon as they are ready to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

A few tips:

Please make slides easily readable with large text.

Do not put too much information onto each slide.

For our digital viewers we will have cameras to film you and your presentation. We advise you to use more illustrations and bulletpoints and talk about it, than a lot of text as the text will be very small for the digital viewers.

About Us

The Organisation

The Euclid Consortium (EC) is an organisation that brings together teams of researchers in theoretical physics, particle physics, astrophysics and space astronomy, and also engineers, technicians, and management and administrative staffs working in public research laboratories and contributing to the Euclid Mission.

The Mission

Euclid is primarily a cosmology and fundamental physics mission. Its main scientific objective is to understand the source of the accelerating expansion of the Universe and discover its very nature that physicists refer to as dark energy
Its launch is planned for 2023.

The Method

Euclid will explore how the Universe evolved over the past 10 billion years to address questions related to fundamental physics and cosmology on the nature and properties of dark energy, dark matter and gravity. Euclid will also provide insightful information on the physics of the early universe and on the initial conditions which seed the formation of cosmic structure.
