Make every meeting matter - or don't meet at all. Decide if a meeting is needed and invite only the necessary people. Massive amounts of valuable time are wasted simply because managers think that face-time is important, or because they've become accustomed to a particular routine. E-mails are usually sufficient to give your team an update or a status report. But if you need instant feedback from all participants, then e-mail will not be as efficient as a face-to-face meeting.
Define goals and distribute agenda in advance. Create a structure for your meeting. Just stating the ideal result often inspires participants and makes meetings more productive. At the very least, it underscores a feature that every meeting needs: a goal. Before the meeting even begins, make sure everyone understands the objectives by writing an agenda.
Own your meeting, take charge and keep your meeting moving forward. Good meetings are products of good leadership. Take charge and make it clear that you intend to keep the discussion timely, useful, and relevant. Show your colleagues that you respect their time by making sure a clock or timer is visible to all. Staying on topic is also key to maintaining a schedule. If the conversation runs off the rails, refocus the group by saying something like: "Interesting, but I don't think we're advancing our goals here. If I could, I'd like to return to the agenda."
Get the constructive input you need from everyone present. Since the point of a meeting is two-way communication, it's crucial to get honest input from everyone. It's the meeting leader's responsibility to make sure everyone is heard. To build consensus or come to a group decision, avoid wearing your op it's easy for a leader to stifle a discussion if everyone assumes the outcome is already determined. Avoid the temptation to dismiss ideas immediately — even when they're terrible.
Close with an Action plan, try to make sure that everyone leaves knowing the next step. Also end the meeting by asking everyone whether they thought the meeting was useful and, if not, what could be done better next time. Do a followup debriefing on your own to improve your meeting techniques.
Keep track of progress of things decided during the meeting. Also keep the group updated about the developments. This will help you in organizing the next meeting more effectively.
Make sure that your meeting didn't happen in isolation by letting the right people know what was decided and what will happen next. It's easy to walk out of a meeting room, go back to your desk, and immediately forget every change, decision, and new idea that your group came up with. Make sure you have a system to keep track of what was decided and what assignments everyone agreed to take on so you can follow up and keep things moving, even if you don't send out complete meeting minutes.

Let all the participants give feedback without being embarrassed or insulted.
Make sure you start and finish the meeting on time.
Prepare for your meeting, which is often forgotten by many.
An excellent tool for having a productive meeting is using "OARR": Objectives, Agenda, Roles & Responsibilities.
First, your meeting should have an Objective. If you are having a meeting to just impart information, don't waste people's time with a meeting. Send them a newsletter. The objective should have an active component and if possible, a product to show for it: "Determine the quarterly goals for the team". The agenda is a list of the topics you'll address to get to that objective, with a time limit to keep you on track.
For example:
Review the status of last quarter's goals (15 minutes)
Round-table suggestions for goals (20 minutes)
Pick top five goals (10 minutes), etc.
For Roles and Responsibilities, determine who is running the meeting, who is keeping notes, and who will assign actions/"to do" items resulting from the meeting.
Leaders need to know not only how to run a good meeting, but also when NOT to hold one.
Here are seven reasons why a meeting should be canceled or rescheduled:
A key member can't make it. Rescheduling is a pain, but it's worse to bring everyone together and not be able to do the work planned. If you need a key member's input, reschedule.
The agenda hasn't been distributed far enough in advance. People need time to prepare for the meeting, make suggestions and changes to the agenda, and get a sense of how much time each item will and ought to be allotted. They should receive the agenda at least 3 days in advance.
The purpose of the meeting isn't clear. When meetings are simply informational, participants feel and resent their time being wasted. Make it clear what is to be accomplished, why, how, and when.
The work could be done quicker or better in another format (e.g. e-mail or phone). Don't hold a meeting unless that's the only and best way to get the work done.
Reading materials haven't been distributed beforehand. Reading should be done on each individual's time, not group time.
The only available meeting space won't accommodate the group's technological needs. If material can't be presented convincingly or in its truest form, hold off until it can.
A recent event or finding has rendered the meeting's purpose/discussion moot.
Updates - If the flow of information is one way, send an e-mail instead.
Agenda and Goals
Timekeeper - Makes sure the meeting starts and stops on schedule, reminds facilitator when agenda items are going over their allotted time.
Note Taker - Records what was said and distributes minutes as needed.
Whiteboard Wrangler - Writes ideas on the whiteboard during brainstorming sessions, makes sure every idea is recorded, whether or not it seems promising at first glance

[ID=638433]&&Location&Abstract Progress in cosmology increasingly requires a strong quantitative handle on astrophysical contaminants. Equally, many astrophysically interesting processes can be constrained from cosmological survey data. This meeting will bring together experts in a range of fields to take a crticial look at the relationship between accurate astrophysics and correct cosmology. The meeting will be held at the Royal Astronomical Society in the heart of London, running from Monday 13 to Thursday 16 July 2015, leaving Friday free to explore the city.&Topics cosmology, astrophysics, cosmic microwave background, CMB, foregrounds, large scale structure, LSS, weak lensing, intrinsic alignments, hubble constant, reionization&Weblink &&5.Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy&Dates
[ID=666091]&&Location&Abstract Studying systems, which emit over several orders of magnitude in energy, necessitates the combination of ground based (radio/mm/optical/IR/VHE) and space based (optical-UV/IR/X-ray/VHE) instruments. Due to scheduling demands, observations in multiple bands are typically days- such coordinated, but non-simultaneous observations, of systems that change on shorter timescales are therefore prone to be misleading. Such rapidly variable systems include the jets and accretion flows from smaller compact objects such as stellar mass black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs which change on viscous timescales of minutes, dynamical changes (of the order of hours) in AGN, the jets from T-Tauri proto-stellar objects and accreting stars, and dense environments around luminous systems which are causally linked. In all cases, without a truly simultaneous MW picture of these systems, we are denied an understanding of the physical mechanisms that underpin them.At present there is no simple solution to the problem of simultaneous MW observing yet the relevance of the scientific questions makes it crucial for the community to find one. This may take the form of a new strategy for MW observing which could be adopted by a large number of observatories (both ground and spaced based) or may require a more extreme solution and a bespoke MW mission. Consideration of the latter is both
whilst a great deal of attention is focussed on next-generation single band-pass observatories, technology (e.g. mechanical cooling in place of cryogenic cooling) is now developed to the point where a dedicated MW satellite is not only possible but is the natural next step in observational astronomy. We propose to hold a focussed workshop at the Lorentz centre (@Oort) in mid-late 2015 to bring together leading senior scientists working in theory, observation and instrumentation. The aim is to discuss and identify the community's future requirements based on recent discoveries and progress in MW astronomy, and how these can best be served by a concerted effort to unify strategies or complemented by a new, next-generation MW satellite.There will be no registration fee. Lunch and conference dinner is courtesy of the Lorentz Center.

[ID=682191]&&Location&Abstract ESA's Planck satellite was launched in May 2009 and has surveyed the whole sky in intensity and polarization uninterruptedly between August 2009 and October 2013, over a range of frequencies spanning the radio (30 GHz) to the submillimetre (857 GHz). Planck was designed to image the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) over the whole sky, with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. In addition to the main cosmological goals of the mission, the Planck sky surveys are being used to study in detail the very sources of emission which "contaminate" the CMB signal, and results in a wealth of information on the properties of extragalactic sources, and on the dust and gas in our own galaxy.

[ID=695274]&&Location&Abstract The explosion of massive stars as GRBs and SNe are among the most powerful and luminous events in the Universe. Their progenitors require special conditions to form and upon their explosive death they release energy and heavy elements back into their environment and a new cycle of star-formation begins with different initial conditions. Those stellar explosions play an important role in the general evolution of galaxies across the entire history of the Universe. In this Focus Meeting we want to foster the interaction between the different communities working on massive stellar explosions, star-forming galaxies and galaxy evolution, observational as well as theoretical, to improve the knowledge of the scientific community on their mutual influences.&Weblink &Contact Christina Th?ne (chair); Email: info_fm10@iaa.es&&39.Astro-GR 2015 — Workshop on Astrophysics and Relativity&Dates

[ID=717072]&&Location&Abstract Dramatically improved data from observatories like the Kepler spacecraft have recently enabled nonlinear time series analysis and phenomenological modeling of variable stars, including the search for strange (aka fractal) or chaotic dynamics. For example, Kepler data suggests that the spectral scaling of some golden stars — whose luminosities vary quasiperiodically with two frequencies nearly in the golden ratio -- resembles the spatial scaling of the rugged Norwegian coast, a signature of strange nonchaotic dynamics. Do all golden stars exhibit Norwegian scaling? More generally, does variable star dynamics exhibit universal or peculiar features? The CATS conference will forge a synergy between variable star astronomers and nonlinear dynamicists to advance our understanding of variable star dynamics.&Topics Nonlinear Dynamics, Variable stars, RR Lyrae, Chaos, Time series analysis, Blazhko effect, Period doubling, Pan-STARRS, KEPLER, CoRoT, OGLE, &Weblink &Contact Vivek K Email: cats2015@hawaii.edu&Related subject(s) &&49.The 8th meeting on Cosmic Dust&Dates

CRIS 2015, following the experience of the previous editions, aims to present overviews of existing data of UHECRs and reports from the main experiments currently taking data. At the same time overviews of theoretical models, with different hypotheses on the origin, on predictions for expected neutrino fluxes and related questions of interest in Cosmology will be presented.&Topics Cosmic rays, Gamma rays, Particle Physics, Neutrino, LHC, &Weblink &Contact Email: cris2015@le.infn.it&Related subject(s) &&82.Gravity15 — AdS/CFT and quantum gravity&Dates
[ID=710714]&&Location&Abstract Much of our current understanding of non-perturbative dynamics of quantum field theories, and in particular of AdS/CFT duality, derives from the use of integrability methods. Quantum integrability methods were first used to obtain exact solutions of certain 1+1 dimensional quantum spin chains and Quantum Field Theories. But in the last decade, they were successfully applied to some higher-dimensional conformal supersymmetric gauge theories in the planar limit, such as 4dN=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and 3d ABJM. This allowed the exact computation of some of the most important physical quantities that appear, such as correlators, scattering amplitudes and Wilson loops amplitudes, to all orders in perturbation theory. In addition, classical and quantum integrability methods contributed significantly to progress in related subjects dealing with exact partition functions, localization methods and the so called AGT correspondence in topological and BPS sectors of various 4d N=1, 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. These Interrelated subjects have attracted considerable attention in recent years amongst leading researchers from around the world, ranging from high energy phenomenologists to string theorists and specialists in integrability methods. The resulting discoveries have become part of the mainstream developments linking modern quantum field theory to string theory. This workshop aims at a fruitful exchange of ideas and interactions amongst leading researchers working in various aspects of this field. About 70 scientists will take part in this two week sequence, giving talks on their research (3-4 per day) and participating in interactive discussion sessions.&Weblink &Contact A.

[ID=657693]&&Location&Abstract Einstein's general relativistic field equations govern the Universe, in particular phenomena in cosmology, astrophysics and notably gravitational waves. The study of these equations has led to thriving new mathematical research in the areas of geometric analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) of hyperbolic and elliptic character, differential geometry as well as in scattering theory and the analysis of asymptotic behavior of solutions. Purely analytic and numerical methods complement each other on this road. Modern mathematical breakthroughs allow to attack and solve physical problems that have been a challenge for the last century. Among these are the study and detection of gravitational waves. These are produced in mergers of black holes or neutron stars or in core-collapse supernovae. Our era faces the verge of detection of these waves, which we can think of as fluctuations in the curvature of the spacetime. Mathematically gravitational waves are investigated by means of geometric analysis as well as numerics. Through geometric analysis Christodoulou's findings of a nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves, displacing test masses permanently has sparked new research leading to insights into this very effect for other fields coupled to Einstein equations. Moreover, Christodoulou's results on black hole formation have likewise launched abundant activities in hyperbolic PDE. Further the stability of Minkowski spacetime, the stability of black hole spacetimes, the study of the constraint equations, the evolution equations or the Penrose inequality have pushed further mathematical and physical research, thereby having created more challenging questions for the future. This conference discusses recent developments in these areas.&Weblink &&134.Escuela de astronoma observacional para estudiantes latinoamericanos&Start date[ID=724803]&&Location&Weblink &Related subject(s) &&135.Sweeping galaxies clean: cold molecular outflows as drivers of galaxy evolution&Start date[ID=719508]&&Location&Weblink &&136.Workshop on K?hler Geometry, Einstein Metrics, and Generalizations&Dates

[ID=661873]&&Location&Organizer Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics&Abstract The goal of this program is to understand the role of molecules, heavy elements and dust for star formation, and how these species affect the properties and evolution of early galaxies. Possible approaches to answer these questions will be discussed by a diverse group of astrophysicists working on star formation, galaxy formation and evolution, star bursts in extreme environments, both locally and at the highest redshifts. The timeliness of the topic is evidenced by the unprecedented millimeter/submillimeter data that is constraining key physical processes governing star formation and metal and dust enrichment in the first billion years of cosmic history. Observations of local and distant starburst galaxies indicate the existence of a tight connection between the star formation rate and molecular gas fraction, which is primarily controlled by the abundance of dust and by the intensity of interstellar far-ultraviolet radiation field. We are thus likely to witness a major breakthrough in this field during the next couple of years, as the sensitivity of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) will provide an unrivaled probe of the first stars and galaxies emerging from the cosmic Dark Ages.&Weblink &Contact Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA ; Phone: +1 805-893-6332; Email: progmgr@kitp.ucsb.edu&&142.Workshop on Geometric Flows in Riemannian and Complex Geometry&Dates
