Dear All,

This is a gentle reminder to register for this year's AGORA Workshop by the end of this week (link and details below).  Thank you very much!  

Best wishes,

> Date: July 6, 2021 at 8:43:31 AM GMT+9
> 
> Dear AGORA Colleagues,
> 
> We are delighted to announce that the 9th annual Workshop of the AGORA Project will be held online on Aug. 12-13, 2021.  As noted earlier, this year’s Workshop has two parts:  [A] recorded video talks + [B] live discussion sessions on ongoing/future projects.  
> 
> ● Workshop description + registration:  www.agorasimulations.org/workshops <http://www.agorasimulations.org/workshops>, https://forms.gle/zcJWiqg246t6yyDAA <https://forms.gle/zcJWiqg246t6yyDAA>   
> ● For more information, please read below or visit the webpage above.

> RECORDED VIDEO TALKS:
> 
> Despite the months of hardship during the pandemic, many resilient researchers have kept doing amazing work.  However, without many conferences to travel to for 2 years in a row, researchers — junior postdocs and students in particular — had hard time promoting their work than in typical years.  Simulators didn't have a lot of places to showcase their beautiful movies and images, either.
> 
> In the past years, the AGORA Workshop has held joint sessions with the Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop on numerical simulations.  Following the tradition, we are soliciting contributed, recorded 15 to 20-min talks on numerical simulations of galaxies and Universe.  While the Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop is on its hiatus, we hope the AGORA Workshop would be the place where simulators can present their work and share their ideas with a broader numerical cosmology/galaxy formation community.  (You should feel free to post your talk even if you do not wish to be involved in the ongoing AGORA efforts!)  
> 
> ● Think of the usual simulation talks you have seen in the Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop.  
> ● Create a < 20-min YouTube clip using the softwares like Zoom, Powerpoint, Keynote, or OBS (obsproject.com <http://obsproject.com/>; example in www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4GdBaHvpmk <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4GdBaHvpmk>).  Simply email the link to the Project Coordinator (santacruzgalaxy at gmail.com <mailto:santacruzgalaxy at gmail.com>).    
> 
> We will then curate your contributions on the Workshop webpage, and expose them publicly for months starting August 9.  The launching of our "talk collection" will be widely announced to the AGORA mailing list, and to the usual Santa Cruz Galaxy Workshop participants.  With a fraction of the time and risk you may take in a physical trip, you will be able to present your latest work to the very focused audience with deep interests in the topic.

> LIVE DISCUSSION SESSIONS:
> 
> On Aug. 12-13, we are planning a 2-day live discussion on the ongoing and future projects in the Collaboration.  To accommodate our participants from virtually all corners of the globe, we plan a 2-hour session each day on Zoom (07:00-09:00 PDT, 10:00-12:00 EDT, 16:00-18:00 CEST, 23:00-01:00 JST/KST).
> 
> ● On Day 1 (12 Thu), we will have a Collaboration-wide brainstorming session with both existing and new members on the future of the Project, to best utilize the science comparison opportunities that just opened up with our Paper III (arxiv.org/abs/2106.09738 <http://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09738>).  We will also decide on the projects (and their leaderships) we can newly launch, or relaunch. This will be a great chance for new participants in particular — you are welcome to submit a short elevator pitch as a video clip, or talk to the Project Coordinator.  
> ● On Day 2 (13 Fri), we will have more technical discussions primarily with the existing members already deep in the Project, on e.g., Papers “CGM”, “Technical” and “Clumps”.  The latest Collaboration progress report on the ongoing Papers is at: sites.google.com/site/projectagoraworkspace/collaborative-documents/progress-report-21 <http://sites.google.com/site/projectagoraworkspace/collaborative-documents/progress-report-21> (membership required).

> REGISTRATION:
> 
> Please fill out the registration by July 23 if you wish to participate in either or both portions of the Workshop (https://forms.gle/zcJWiqg246t6yyDAA <https://forms.gle/zcJWiqg246t6yyDAA>).  There is no registration fee.  If you plan to post your video talk, please do register first, and submit the link by August 6.

> Please forward this message to anyone potentially interested, especially to the young simulators who are looking for opportunities to advertise their amazing work, or to participate in the science comparison in AGORA.  
> 
> If any question, please do not hesitate to contact the Project Coordinator (santacruzgalaxy at gmail.com <mailto:santacruzgalaxy at gmail.com>).  We look forward to seeing you online at the Workshop!
