Dear Colleagues,

The 17th Gaia Science Alerts workshop and the ACME Time-Domain Workshop will take place in Frejus, France, and online 31 Aug - 4 Sep 2026.

The main topics this year:

- Eleven Years of Gaia Science Alerts: overview, statistics and major discoveries.
- Lessons Learned from Alerts from Space: operational experience and alert detection pipelines.
- Future Space Transient Missions: SVOM, UltraSAT, PhotSAT, Einstein Probe, Roman, PLATO, Ariel.
- Preparing for the LSST Era: alert streams, brokers, filtering and follow-up coordination.
- Follow-up Infrastructure and Telescope Networks: robotic networks and global follow-up systems.
- BHTOM System: platform for coordinated follow-up and time-domain data management.
- Citizen Science and Amateur Astronomy: small telescope contributions and EASST observing campaigns.
- Alert Brokers and Machine Learning: real-time alert processing, classification and filtering.
- Multi-Messenger Astronomy: counterparts to gravitational waves, neutrinos and gamma-ray bursts.
- Solar System Alerts: detection and follow-up of asteroids, comets and moving objects.
- Rare and Exotic Transients: tidal disruption events, luminous red novae and other unusual phenomena.
- Legacy and Archival Science: long-term value of the Gaia Alerts dataset for variability and ML training.

Registration closes 7th July 2026.


Best regards,
