• Gaia EDR3: Highlight Science (The Milky Way as a Galaxy)
• Gaia EDR3: Highlight Science (The Birth, Life and Death of Stars)
• Gaia EDR3: Highlight Science (from Solar system to reference frames)
• Gaia networking and ground based synergies with Gaia
• Lunch session with an update on the Gaia Archive and also an opportunity for poster presenters to deliver a 'lightening' talk of their (e-)poster.

As in previous years (see for instance the programme and talks from our Symposium at the EAS 2020 meeting - http://great.ast.cam.ac.uk/Greatwiki/GreatMeet-PM13 our programme will consist largely of contributed talks. We encourage you to submit your abstract for the meeting, abstracts from early stage researchers especially welcome.

Abstract deadline is 2 March 2021 - so that isn’t too far away - https://eas.unige.ch/EAS_meeting/abstract_submission.jsp - make sure you submit to Symposium S15.

The payment deadline for attendance is nearer the meeting date, hence do aim to submit an abstract.
