EURECA aims to bring together the community of Steward Observatory and NOIRLab researchers working at high redshift in an informal venue for conversation. Topics include, but are not limited to, high redshift galaxies, high redshift AGN and quasars, reionization, and relevant observational and technical tools.

EURECA is organized by Jackie Champagne (jbchampagne@arizona.edu), Jake Helton (jakobhelton@arizona.edu), and Lily Whitler (lwhitler@arizona.edu) from Steward Observatory. Meetings typically occur biweekly on Fridays at 10am MST in a hybrid form in Steward Observatory room N305 and on Zoom, but please see our schedule below in case of any changes. If you would like to be added to the mailing list, receive Zoom connection information, or lead a EURECA meeting, please reach out to the organizers!

The organizers of EURECA are committed to facilitating a positive and constructive environment for scientific discussion. By participating in EURECA, you agree to adhere to our Goals and Code of Conduct.
