ABOUT

We are made of dust. How does this dust collect in protoplanetary discs to form planets like the Earth and people like us?

Since 2013 high-resolution observations of protoplanetary discs have been made with ALMA, VLT-SPHERE and other telescopes. Can we make sense of them? We aim to bring together theory and observations to understand how nature overcomes the `Great Barriers' in the planet formation process

The conference will follow a 3-week program of activities on protoplanetary discs at Monash University in Melbourne as part of the EU-funded DUSTBUSTERS collaboration

"Inside the Taurus star-forming complex, HL Tau is a young star..."

ALMA partnership et al. (2015).
And so it began.

Dates: 21st-26th July 2019

Venue: Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia

    LOCATION

    The conference will be held at the Palm Cove conference centre in Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia

    The nearest airport is Cairns international airport

    For tourism, we recommend setting aside the Saturday following the conference for a boat trip to the Outer Reef. These depart daily from Cairns (you can also arrange pickup/dropoff from Palm Cove).

    ACCOMMODATION

    We have a special rate negotiated at the conference hotel. To receive this rate book via Tel +61 7 4729 2000 or groups@hgcpalmcove.com.au.

    Room typeRoom only+1 breakfast+2 breakfast
    Standard room$120$135$150
    Superior room$140$155$170
    Standard suite$160$175$190
    Superior suite$180$195$210
