OCEANS - Events

Summer Schools

Massive Stars and Machine Learning, 24 November - 5 December 2025, Valparaíso, Chile

Massive stars are fundamental to understanding the chemical and dynamical evolution of the universe. As they evolve, they release chemically enriched material through powerful winds and eruptions, shaping their surroundings. Studying their physical properties and evolution is crucial, especially considering the impact of binary and multiple systems on their final stages. These stars also play a key role in generating gravitational waves, making them central to current research in multi-messenger astronomy.

Today, researchers rely on both synthetic and observational data to study massive stars. In this context, machine learning has become a powerful tool for identifying patterns, analyzing large datasets, and predicting stellar properties.

Complementing this, astrostatistics provides a rigorous framework to handle uncertainties and validate models, ensuring robust and trustworthy scientific conclusions.

In the frame of OCEANS, we are organizing the Machine Learning and Astrostatistics School: Applications to Massive Stars, hosted in Valparaíso, Chile.

The school will provide a solid introduction to modern data analysis techniques in stellar astrophysics. Through lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will explore how machine learning and statistical methods can be applied to massive stars research, from generating synthetic data to analyzing large-scale observational surveys.

For more information on the school and to register to the event, please visit the dedicated website.

More detailed information will be provided closer to the event.

Workshops

Throughout the project period we plan to organize some dedicated workshops for training and knowledge exchange among team members. More detailed information will be provided closer to the event(s).

International Conference

Overcoming challenges in the evolution and nature of massive stars, June 2028, Brazil

An international conference will be organized in the last year of the project, with the aim to communicate and disseminate the project results with the community. Details about the conference will be announced closer to the event.

Consortium Meeting

Mid-Term Review / Project Meeting will be held in 2026 in Córdoba, Argentina

The mid-term meeting will be held in person, with the possibility to join online. Details about the meeting will be announced closer to the event.
