Hypatia Reloaded: A Colloquium Series for Early-Career Astronomers in Chile 2025
The European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Office for Science (OfS) in Santiago, Chile, is thrilled to announce the third edition of the Hypatia Colloquium Series. This event provides a fantastic platform for young researchers—including PhD students and postdoctoral researchers up to three years after graduation—to share their scientific work with a wide audience.
ESO has a deep connection with Chile, thanks to the country's high-quality sky conditions for astronomical observations. With advanced observatories in the Atacama Desert, ESO benefits from Chile's clear skies. At the same time, Chile's astronomical community continues to grow, with vibrant PhD programs and diverse young astronomers bringing new scientific ideas and perspectives. Within this context, this colloquium series builds on the long collaboration between ESO and its host country, with the aim of highlighting the exciting contributions of young-career astronomers to our understanding of the Universe.
