08-09 September 2026, Porto, Portugal

The Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) is a research infrastructure with a national dimension, embodying a bold vision for the development of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences in Portugal. IA is the largest research unit in this field in the country, one of the scientific areas with the highest relative impact factor and highest average number of citations per article for Portugal. IA has demonstrated its ability to drive major astronomical projects at all stages of development, including scientific and technical definition, instrument concept and design, construction and commissioning, and scientific exploitation.

The IA-ON12 meeting marks the internal annual meeting of the IA team, where the progress of the research, outreach, and management activities will be discussed. With the participation of all IA members, IA-ON12 will provide an important opportunity to discuss and keep improving IA's strategy, while fostering synergies between IA groups across all activity areas.
