13^th / 14^th Silk Road Conference

Exploring the Frontiers of Dynamical Astronomy with High-Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Leading-Edge Observational Techniques.

We continue the numbering of these conferences, which started as Korea-China meeting in 2009; later it became Kazakhstan-China-Korea meeting, and due to increasing interest and participation of colleagues from all over central and east Asia we decided now to rename it to Silk Road Conference.

Teeminar (= German for Tea Seminar) is the group seminar of Silk Road Project at NAOC/KIAA, sometimes extended by visitors or talks from nearby institutes or disciplines.

• The Teeminar Beijing usually is part of the general Teeminar program (Teeminar Heidelberg, via zoom), but if listed here (sometimes) it takes place as an in-person or hybrid event (in person in NAOC or Morningside center, and sometimes via zoom). Watch here for schedule.

Time and Place : weekly, day to be confirmed, partly at NAOC, partly at KIAA/PKU, partly at Morningside Center of AMSS/CAS. (How to find KIAA on PKU campus) (Location Map of NAOC)  .
