Rationale

Accretion is the process that regulates the growth and evolution of objects in our Universe. Accreting systems across a wide range of mass and size scales exhibit rich and surprisingly consistent phenomenology. Building on the succsess of the first Vasto Accretion Meeting in 2023, this new edition will see two back-to-back conferences will aim to facilitate the sharing of insights into accretion physics across the scales. The first week will be mostly dedicated to accretion/ejection in compact interacting binaries, while the second week will be mostly dedicated to accretion/ejection processes occuring in active galactic nuclei.
