The next TMT Science Forum has not yet been announced.
The TMT partnership has been holding annual Science Forums since 2013. Previous forums have covered a range of topics, typically crossing science areas but always using ideas for science to explore topics that inform the design and operation of the observatory, indentify the priorities for observing capabilities and generate scientific collaboration across the TMT partnership and beyond.
Science synergies in the era of the Thirty-Meter-Telescope - Xiamen, China, November 2019
Discussion of the scientific synergies between the TMT and space/ground -based facilities operating in the 2030s, especially facilities with strong Chinese involvement - SKA, FAST, CSST, Einstein Probe, eXTP and others.
Breakthrough Science With the Thirty Meter Telescope - Pasadena, CA, USA - December 2018
Examining the scientific breakthroughs enabled by the transformative capabilities provided by the TMT.
TMT: Beyond First Light - Mysore, India - November 2017
