The International Meeting on Eclipsing Binary Star Systems (EBS) will take place in Paris, France, on November 11 and 12, 2023. The main goal of the 2023 meeting is to review eclipsing binary systems from a theoretical and observational point of view. Therefore, this meeting is planned for both professionals and amateurs. However, most of the focus of the meeting will be on the W UMa-type binary systems, which are one of the most interesting types of binary systems and are important astrophysical tools for understanding star formation, structure, and evolution. A large number of these binary systems have not been observed and analysed yet. In order to analyse these binaries, it is usually necessary to have appropriate ground-based observations at the large and small observatories. We welcome all branches regarding eclipsing binary systems. Another goal of this meeting is to establish proper communication between professionals and amateur observers in this field.
This meeting was organized by the Société astronomique de France, Paris Observatory and the BSN project. ‘English’ is the meeting language, and the number of places for face-to-face participation is limited.
