to someone! -- who can use it (which is permitted by EAS). If that's you -- or a friend or colleague -- let me know!
Meeting info: eas.unige.ch/EAS2025/
This is only for registration; so probably best for someone in Cork.
Let's get this registration to a better owner!

I have an in-person registration for next week's European Astronomical Society (EAS) meeting in Cork, Ireland, already paid for, but now am unable to go.
Rather than cancel the registration, I would prefer to transfer it to someone -- free
