Meetings & Workshops
The Role of Gas in Galaxy Dynamics (September 2017, Malta)
This conference brought together world leading experts in galaxy dynamics and cosmology in order to promote collaborative efforts across theoretical, computational, and observational disciplines to try to answer to fundamental questions about the role of gas in galaxy dynamics and evolution.

Hunting for the Dark: The Hidden Side of Galaxy Formation (19-23 October 2009 – Malta)
Chaired jointly by Victor P. Debattista and Cristina C. Popescu
Many of the components and processes that play an important role in the formation of galaxies are either dark, obscured or faint. This restricts our ability to test theories and models. This meeting aimed to bring together researchers in galaxy formation to address some of these challenges.
