A highlight of the conference will be a combined social dinner and catered boat experience on Wednesday, 12 August 2026. Participants will board a private vessel along the Valencian coast to observe the total solar eclipse from the Mediterranean, followed by a conference dinner served on board.
Experiencing totality from the sea offers an unobstructed western horizon and a unique perspective on this rare astronomical event. The shared setting—science, sky, and sea—will provide a relaxed environment for conversation and collaboration, bringing together the scientific and social dimensions of the meeting in a single, memorable evening.
