The UK & Ireland Discs Meeting aims to share knowledge and build connections between astrophysical disc communities.

We are delighted to announce that the 2027 UK & Ireland Discs Meeting will be held on 5–7 July 2027 at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). This will be the first time that the UK & Ireland Discs Meeting is held in Ireland!

While the meeting has a particular focus on the UK and Ireland communities, we warmly welcome scientists and attendees from beyond these isles. We welcome researchers working on any aspects of astrophysical discs, with areas including (but are not limited to): protoplanetary discs, debris discs, white-dwarf discs, high-energy discs, and galactic discs.

About the Series & Community

This is the fourth meeting of this series.

Mailing List: The UK & Ireland discs mailing list is a community mailing list for those working on various types of astrophysical discs. The goal behind the list is to share information on meetings, schools, PhD, postdoc and other academic positions related to astrophysical discs. You can find more details on our mailing list page.

Code of Conduct

(Adapted from RAS and UKEXOM2023)

We value the participation of all attendees and want to ensure everyone will have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Therefore, all attendees are expected to show respect towards other attendees and agree to the code of conduct upon registration and attendance.

This meeting will be a harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, nationality, and religion. We do not tolerate harassment of attendees in any form.

  • Presenters give their time freely. Many have travelled a considerable distance, some are senior, and some are early career scientists perhaps giving a talk at this level for the first time. All deserve a fair and encouraging hearing. Please try to be on time for the start of a session, or otherwise enter quietly into the back of the room, refrain from loud conversations outside the doors and switch off mobile phones, and if you must use a laptop, do so inconspicuously in one of the rear seats.

  • Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriately aggressive comments and questions, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

  • All communication given by presenters, organisers and attendees should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language, jokes and imagery is not appropriate for any event.

  • Be kind to other participants and respect local staff. Do not insult or put down other attendees.

  • Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate.

  • Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event, without a refund of any charge.

If someone wishes to report a breach of this code of conduct with regards to this meeting, then they should contact any of the LOC in person or by email (including anonymously) to TBD.
