Technical Programme

Thank you for submitting your abstracts to present at GLOC 2023 to be held on 23-25 May in Oslo, Norway. The submission of abstracts is now closed and we could not be more delighted with the number of abstracts received over the past months – we had a tremendous response with over 380 abstracts submitted from 61 different countries!

The overwhelming number of submissions and limited presentation slots made the selection process challenging for the GLOC 2023 International Programme Committee. Thank you to everyone who shared their work!

Papers will be published in the IAF Digital Library and the conference proceedings which will be made available to all conference attendees. We are available at support@iafastro.org to answer any question you may have.
