The eighth AtomDB Workshop and spectroscopy school was due to be held the week of the 3rd August, however due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation we are canceling the in person meeting. Instead, we will hold a one day AtomDB meeting, followed by an advanced spectroscopy school over the following 2 days.
The spectroscopy school will go beyond how to run spectral analysis software, instead focusing on the details and pitfalls of obtaining exciting scientific results from observed spectra. Invited speakers will present details of how they performed one of their published spectral analyses and what they discovered in a series of 25 minute talks, with notes or analysis scripts distributed where possible.
The meeting will run from 08:00-11:00 EDT (12:00-15:00 UTC) every day.
If you are interested in attending, please register below and we will forward you the links to the meeting sessions when they commence.

By attending the AtomDB Workshop and Advanced Spectroscopy School, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct. The short summary of this is:
The AtomDB Workshop is intended to allow a free flow of ideas in an environment free of discrimination. It is taking place entirely online, which presents new challenges. Please be respectful of your colleagues. If you notice an incident, please report it immediately to the organizers using one of the following methods:
The meeting will be conducted as a Zoom Webinar. The sessions will start at 8:00am EDT (12:00 UTC), with the Zoom session opening at 7:45am (11:45 UTC). Due to the Zoom Webinar format, audience members will not be able to talk directly to the speakers, though there will be a questions and answers box which can be used.
In addition, the primary communication during the meeting will be through Slack. The AtomDB Slack Workspace is at https://slack.atomdb.com. Attendees and presenters are encouraged to use the Slack to ask and answer questions and hold discussions during the meeting. This has the advantage over the Zoom chat that it is a persistent forum and will not disappear once the session is over. All attendees should have received an invitation link to the Slack, if you have any issues or your link is missing please contact the organizers please get in touch.
If you have any problems with either of these formats, please contact the organizers.
