Conference is Postponed

We regret to inform you that due to the aggressive spreading of the coronavirus worldwide, after lengthy consideration and discussions, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to postpone the conference: “Extreme Galaxies and their Extreme Environments as Probes of Galaxy Formation”.  Please see the main home page of the conference for more details.


What follows is no longer valid given the postponement (see above)

The registration for the conference was February 15th and is now officially closed.

If you have not been e-mailed individually about a late registration and would like to inquire about the possibility or registering, please contact the conference administrators at extremegalaxies.conf@gmail.com

The deadline for the registration was Feb 15th.  You need to have registered by this date to attend the conference unless you received special permission for late registration.  There are later deadlines for the fee payment that are in addition to the registration deadline.  You must register and pay the fee to finalize your conference attendance.

The conference fee includes the use of the hotel conference facilities, coffee breaks, the welcome cocktail and the poster cocktail.
