Events for the Public
CfA's "Observatory Nights" series welcomes the public to attend—free of charge—a nontechnical lecture on astronomy on the third Thursday evening of each month. Other special events of astronomical interest are also presented during the year.

CfA Colloquium Series
During the academic year, this CfA program invites leading researchers to Cambridge to present lectures on a wide variety of subjects in astronomy and astrophysics. CfA scientists participate both as speakers and as hosts for these events.

Conferences and Workshops
The CfA sponsors a variety of workshops and conferences during the year for the scientific community. These programs are designed to provide unique opportunities to discuss recent research topics.

Seminars
Talks on a wide variety of topics in astronomy, astrophysics, and related research bring speakers from the US and elsewhere to CfA's weekly discussions. Most talks are organized by CfA's science divisions; however, the Graduate Research Forum, the Initiative for Innovative Computing Seminars, the Institute for Theory and Computation Colloquia, and the Joint Atomic Physics Colloquia all contribute to this active schedule.

Weekly Calendar
CfA's schedule of colloquia, seminars, lunchtime talks, and other CfA and related events is posted every Friday—and updated as needed—for the following week.
