Abstract

The Future of Meetings (TFOM) began as a symposium dedicated to exploring the future of interaction in 2020, framed around key themes of accessibility, inclusivity, sustainability and technology, and with its roots in the astronomy community. Throughout our work in TFOM, it has been clear that the standard meeting practices taken for granted as a given in astronomy (and science) have long been inaccessible to many, creating a "normal" that is both exclusive and unsustainable. Conversely, the rapid advances in effective online means of communicating and collaborating open up a wealth of new possibilities for redefining what is required to succeed in astronomy, from the ground up. In this proceeding, we outline the lessons learned from and core recommendations of TFOM, specifically in the context of accessibility and inclusivity in astronomy. In the wake of pandemic disruption, we have a unique chance to rewrite the fabric of collaboration within our field. By doing so, we can establish new attraction and retention practices, maximising inclusivity while minimising environmental harm at a critical turning point for our long term survival as a species.

通往更加便利和包容的天文学会议未来之路

会议的未来(tfm)最初是一个研讨会，致力于探索2020年互动的未来，围绕无障碍、包容性、可持续性和技术等关键主题，并植根于天文学界。通过我们在tfm的工作，很明显，在天文学(和科学)中被视为理所当然的标准会议实践长期以来对许多人来说是不可接近的，创造了一种既排他性又不可持续的“常态”。相反，有效的在线交流和协作手段的迅速发展为重新定义天文学成功所需的条件提供了大量新的可能性。在本程序中，我们概述了tfm的经验教训和核心建议，特别是在天文学的可及性和包容性的背景下。在大流行中断之后，我们有一个独特的机会来重写我们领域内的合作结构。通过这样做，我们可以建立新的吸引力和保留做法，在我们作为一个物种长期生存的关键转折点上，最大限度地提高包容性，同时最大限度地减少对环境的危害。
