Based on the Scientific Organizing Committee evaluation of the submitted contributions, the preliminary program of the IAU Symposium 405 was published, which can be looked through interactively at https://gc2026.muni.cz/programme, including talk abstracts. We also published the current list of posters at https://gc2026.muni.cz/programme/posters.
For IAUS405 participants we prepared a rich accompanying social program, including the Welcome cocktail, Conference dinner, sightseeing tour, and the concert full of beautiful Czech and Moravian music. In addition, participants can plan various free-time activities to enjoy Brno and its surroundings even more.
IAUS405 LOC members - Monika Viskotová and Michal Zajaček - prepared the workshop "Black holes under the magnifying glass" for about 30 high-school students within the CzecHopes 2026 event organized on the premises of the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University.
