We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a Kavli Science Focus Meeting, “Ordo ab Chao: Star formation and chemistry from z>10 to local relics” on Tuesday 3rd February 2026, from 9:00am to 5:15pm in the Martin Ryle Seminar Room at KICC.
Invited speakers: Prof. Stefania Salvadori (Florence) and Dr. Mirko Curti (ESO)
This meeting will bring together researchers across Cambridge (and beyond) who work or are interested in the production and circulation of elements across cosmic times. We aim to start new collaborations, to connect theory and observations, and to link research on local and distant systems. Everyone is encouraged to discuss future (~5-10 year) observations or simulations that are necessary to advance the field.
- Chemical abundances in the Milky Way, its subsystems, and nearby galaxies
- Chemical abundances at high redshift
- Feedback and metal circulation
- Measuring metallicity: beyond single-zone, integrated measurements
- High N/O systems across cosmic time
- Evidence for pristine enrichment
- The Future of observations and models
Please register for the meeting via the link below. The deadline for registration is Friday 19th December.
