Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that pre-registration and abstract submission are now open for the conference Understanding the Universe through Large Scale Astronomical Surveys, which will take place in Teruel, Spain, from October 5–9, 2026.

This conference aims to bring together researchers working across the full spectrum of modern astronomical survey science, with the main objective of exploring how the most ambitious current and future surveys are reshaping key areas of astrophysics, and how synergies among these projects can build on their individual goals.

Hosted by the Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA), the meeting will also acknowledge the profound contribution in this topic of Prof. Mariano Moles, Founding Director of CEFCA, whose vision, leadership and determination were instrumental in the creation of this institution and of the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre, where wide-field astronomical surveys like J-PAS and J-PLUS (among others) are currently being conducted.

The deadline for Pre-registration & Abstract submission is May 15th, 2026. 

Pre-registration form and additional information about this meeting can be found at:

Please do not hesitate to distribute this information among those people who could be interested in it.

Best regards,

Javier Cenarro, on behalf of the SOC
