Mission & Interests
Goals: The European Astronomical Society (EAS) promotes and advances astronomy in Europe. As an independent body, the EAS is able to act on matters that need to be handled at a European level on behalf of the European astronomical community. In its endeavours the EAS collaborates with affiliated national astronomical societies and also with pan-european research organisations and networks.
Founded in 1990, the EAS is a society of individual members. All astronomers may join the society, irrespective of their field of research, or their country of work or origin. In addition, corporations, publishers and non-profit organisations can become organisational members of the EAS.

Communication Activities: The EAS, together with one of its affiliated societies, organises its annual meeting (formerly known as European Week of Astronomy & Space Science; EWASS) to enhance its links with national communities, to broaden connections between individual members and to promote European networks.
As the largest annual astronomical conference in Europe, the EAS annual meeting consists of plenary sessions covering astronomical topics of general interest, and of a number of topical symposia of one or two days' duration, organized in parallel sessions.
Although dominated by the presentation of the latest results in scientific research and associated technological development, there are important societal, European policy and collaboration aspects to the meeting.
