Astronomy. Geneva is holding the EWASS 2014 : European Week of Astronomy and Space Science from 30 June to 4 July at the Centre International de Conférences Genève (CICG).

The European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS, formerly JENAM) is the annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS). With more than 20 years of tradition, it has imposed itself as the largest conference for European astronomy. In addition to plenary sessions and the award of prestigious prizes, the conference hosts many symposia held in parallel, as well as special sessions and meetings. The EAS together with one of its affiliated societies, organises the annual EWASS conference to enhance its links with national communities, to broaden connections between individual members and to promote European networks.

EWASS 2014 is held for the first time in Switzerland and is expected to welcome from around 700 to more than 1000 astrophysicists from all over Europe and even beyond.
