2. New deadline for JWST Cycle 1 General Observer proposals
The major disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect all of us. Integration and testing of the James Webb Space Telescope are among the activities impacted. NASA has re-evaluated the project schedule and announced a launch readiness date of October 31, 2021.
After consulting with the JWST Users Committee, STScI, NASA, ESA and CSA have finalized the review schedule for Cycle 1 proposals.
The JWST Cycle 1 General Observer (GO) proposal deadline will be 08:00 pm Eastern Time (ET) on Tuesday November 24, 2020.
We are announcing the deadline well in advance, so that proposers have flexibility to prepare proposals as their COVID-impacted schedules permit.
The Call for Proposals remains unchanged from its release earlier this year:
https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-opportunities-and-policies/jwst-call-for-proposals-for-cycle-1
All proposal tools and documentation are available to proposers: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/
The JWST Telescope Allocation Committee (TAC) will review the proposals in February 2021 and recommend the Cycle 1 GO science program for announcement in March 2021.
We send best wishes to our user community and their families in these challenging times.
As always, please contact the jwst helpdesk if you have any questions: https://stsci.service-now.com/jwst

3. Dust & Metals 2020 Conference (Marseille, France, 26 – 30 October 2020)
The Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseillewill organize a conference whose objective to bring together (both physically and virtually) the theoritical and observational communities to share our current knowledge on the rise of metals and dust in the Universe over a wide range of cosmic times and to discuss effective strategies to best use our powerful current and future facilities.
This Dust and Metals Conference will take place during the week 26 – 30 October in Marseille, France. That is only two months from now. We are still monitoring the evolution of the Covid-19 situation in France. And far, the French governments announced that meetings with up to 5000 persons are authorized.
As announced before on our website (https://metals-dust.sciencesconf.org), we have decided, after careful consideration to modify our original plans and to hold a dual on-line and in-person meeting. Right now, only people from the European Union are allowed to come to France (or people already inside the EU) and from a few other countries (see ref). Note that the room is now large enough to safely accomodate 100 persons with proper distanciation (300 m^2, pdf). Of course, the organisation will be revised if the situation in France / Europe does not pass some limit fixed by the governments.
People who can travel to France will therefore be able to attend the conference in person, within a maximum attendance of 100 persons. The deadline to submit abstract is September 11, 2020 at 23:59 (UT).
Contributions (both in-person and on-line) are welcomed. We encourage people to submit abstracts. The selection will be announced shortly after September11 2020.
The changes dedicated to safety and the evolution of the sanitary situation are listed on theconference website:
