The 43th International Meteor Conference (IMC2024) will take place in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic, from September 19-22, 2024. The local organization is in the hands of the Meteor Physics Group at Ondřejov Observatory, chaired by Pavel Koten. This will be the first IMC taking place in the Czech Republic!
The location of the IMC 2024 will be the small city of Kutná Hora (ca. 21 000 inhabitants). It has a rich history going back to the middle ages, mainly due to silver mining activity, and is also an architectural gem. Just like Prague, it figures on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The excursion at the IMC 2024 will consist of a guided tour of the city. Kutná Hora is also conveniently located, at 50 km from Prague, with which is well connected by road, train, and bus.
The conference will take place from Thursday evening, September 19, until Sunday noon, September 22, 2024. The dates have been chosen in such a way that interested participants may combine it with the Europlanet Science Congress in Berlin from September 8 to 14, 2024. Of course, the IMC2024 can also be combined with a visit to Prague before or after the Conference.
Finally, a visit to Ondřejov Observatory (ca. 30 km south of Prague) is also possible after the Conference.
More detailed information about the IMC2024 will be provided here as soon as it becomes available!
