II Reunión de Extragaláctica en México
2-6 de Diciembre, 2019
Morelia, Michoacán
The aim of REM is to join to all the observational and theoretical astronomers working in the field of extragalactic astronomy in the country. Our aim is an informal meeting where we will be able to communicate ongoing or recently finished works to open them to discussion in the community. We think it could be a good opportunity to create networks among Mexican scientists. We would like to host these meetings once a year where the main host could change every year. All of you are invited to this initiative.
The meeting will be hosted in Palacio Clavijero from Monday 2nd until Friday 6th of December. You can find here a map showing how to go from the Morelia’s Cathedral to the main door of Palacio Clavijero. We plan to have some indications in the main door to show you the path to the Auditorium. Location of Palacio Clavijero is included in the Hotel’s and Restaurant’s maps (see below).
Bellow is a list of practical issues. Please, note that we have highlighted the new parts of the text (compared with previous announcement) and also those particular issues where you might want to take an action before the meeting. Please, read them carefully.
FIFTH ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear participant,

Dinner: The social dinner is planned to be held on December 3 (Tuesday) in Hotel Alameda (our webpage has a map with the location). The cost will be 400 pesos for senior researchers and 200 pesos for students. We need to pay the dinner in advance so please, be aware you need to confirm assistance and pay for it by Monday in the registration desk.

Below some reminders:
Program: The program of the II REM 2019 (December 2-6) is now available. We attach a PDF version of the program to this email and it is also available at https://apps.irya.unam.mx/rem. You can also have access to the titles and abstracts of the talks in https://apps.irya.unam.mx/rem/abstracts/list/
Outreach: We plan to have an outreach talk on December 4 (Wednesday).
Hotels: We have also included a list of hotels in the webpage for you to consider when arranging your accommodation.
Note that the event will be in Palacio Clavijero so any hotel close to the center will be a good choice.
Group meetings: As you will notice, we have included this year collaborative slots into the program. The aim is to get to know the participants and their research expertise. This might be particularly good for students, which are a good portion of our participants this year (pleased about that too!). Without giving much details deliberately, we will put a friendly competition by dividing participants in small groups. Of course, nobody is forced to participate although desired. We will give more information about this at the beginning of the first day of the meeting.
See you all soon!

THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear colleagues,
As announced sometime ago, the extragalactic group of astronomy at IRyA-UNAM is pleased to announce the second “Reunión de Extragaláctica en México (REM II, in english Mexican Extragalactic Meeting)”. For those who were not able to attend we remind you the REM I was organized by our group in September 2016. In our opinion that first meeting was a success, being able to get to know all the extragalactic research been done in the country. More information on our previous REM.
Goal: The idea is to join to all the observational and theoretical astronomers working in the field of extragalactic astronomy in the country. Our aim is an informal meeting where we will be able to communicate ongoing or recently finished works to open them to discussion in the community. We think it could be a good opportunity to create networks among Mexican scientists.
Dates: This time we would like to organize the meeting in 2-6 of December of 2019. The duration of the meeting will depend on the number of assistants since our goal would be that every researcher will contribute to the meeting with an oral presentation (with also enough time for interaction).
Webpage: You can visit, register, and submit your abstract at https://apps.irya.unam.mx/rem
Timeline:
- Abstract submission deadline: 4th October 2019 Important!!!
- Program announcement: 16th October 2019 New
- Registration deadline: 1st November 2019
Place: We have already arranged a conference room in the Centro Cultural Clavijero (same location than our previous meeting). It is a beautiful old building in the center of Morelia. Considering its location, any hotel in the center would be a good choice. We will provide a list of hotels soon.
Young researchers financial support: We have limited fund to cover accommodation for a limited number of students and young researchers. Please, send us an email if needed. New
Proceedings: We plan to publish the proceedings of the REM in the Electronic edition of the "Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica Serie de Conferencia (RMxAC)" with support from Silvia Torres Peimbert and Irene Cruz González. We will give more details along the conference. New
To do:
- Please, send this announcement within your institution and/or any colleague that might be interested. In particular, we would like to extend the invitation to students and postdocs in the extragalactic field. We believe this could be a good place to improve skills in giving talks. Plus, students are the future and we want to know where Mexican science is going.
- Please, register as soon as possible, so we can have an idea on the number of attendants.
REM has not inscription fees. We will arrange a welcome meeting and a social dinner. These event are optional and will be paid by the participants directly at the location of the event.
