[Please forward as appropriate]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This is the third announcement for the conference “Galaxy Memoirs; Inferring their past from their present<https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/astronomy/GalaxyMemoirs2025>”, which will take place in Búzios, Brazil on 10-15th August, 2025.

Registration is now open.
Please check here<https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/astronomy/GalaxyMemoirs2025/conference.html> for the registration fee deadlines and early bird rates.

The deadline to submit abstracts has been extended to Friday, 28th February.


Scientific rationale
Clues to a galaxy's past are encoded in its current appearance, and by hunting down these clues, we can infer much about the life histories of these objects. Detailed studies of small numbers of individual systems are complemented by large demographic surveys, and both approaches can be connected to galaxies' high-redshift progenitors. Current cutting-edge instrumentation is being used to obtain a wealth of multi-dimensional information on morphology, kinematics, stellar populations, and gas properties, both within individual galaxies and across the population; the next generation of facilities offers even more exciting possibilities.

This conference seeks to bring together experts in the fields of galaxy dynamics, chemical evolution, and galaxy environment to discuss recent results, foster collaborative discussion, and understand how much of a galaxy's past can be inferred from its present-day state. The meeting also honours the careers of Profs. Michael Merrifield and Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, who have played important roles in advancing astronomy in this area.
