Monthly Meetings & Public Lectures

In-person ASSA monthly meetings resumed in May 2022.

Monthly Astronomy Education and General Meetings are conducted in-person and are live streamed (when the technology cooperates). Meetings are open and free of charge to members and the general public.

The Society holds in-person meetings in The Braggs Lecture Theatre at the University of Adelaide, a large modern meeting venue which also facilitates wheelchair access and live streaming of our meetings. Our meetings are free and open to the public. Visitors are most welcome to attend.

COVID-19 Safety Requirements: 

The ASSA regularly reviews and updates its COVID-19 Safety Requirements for its in-person meetings and events. Changes to COVID Safety Requirements can be made and implemented at short notice. Current ASSA COVID Safety Requirements are available at: assa.org.au/covid
