Purpose


Subaru telescope continue to be producing remarkable scientific outcomes and contributing to our deeper understanding of the Universe in various research fields. In order to keep its great momentum and productivity towards the future, and for Subaru Telescope to remain as a cutting-edge astronomical facility in the world, we will host an annual Subaru User's Meeting FY2017 and have close and intensive discussions with our community on recent scientific results, current status of operations and future plans of the Subaru Telescope.

Because of Subaru's uniqueness and complimentarity to other world facilities, the importance of coordinated international collaborations with large projects with other ground-based/space facilities and overseas institutes is continuously increasing. Moreover, in order to ease our budgetary tension to cooperate Subaru and TMT, we are seriously promoting international partnership. The observatory has in fact been discussing with potential partners, and we are in a critical situation where we have to decide on the directions and the actual schemes.

Under these circumstances, we encourage the Subaru community to participate in this Users' meeting, present their recent scientific results, and have intensive discussions on the Subaru future strategy. The whole meeting will be conducted in English.
