In the last two decades, these meetings have gathered the Portuguese astronomical community to report and discuss the most important developments in several topics of astrophysical research in Portugal. These meetings, which take place annually, are composed of several presentation and discussion sessions with special relevance to the community. These concern the strategic goals of the Portuguese astronomical community, the participation of Portugal in international organizations, such as ESO and ESA, and training and outreach activities.

ENAA meetings provide an ideal opportunity for discussing recent results and achievements of Portuguese astronomical research, and for fostering collaborations between the participants and national institutes.

This ENAA edition in particular will include an open day for the general public who will be presented with two outreach talks, parallel Sun observations and an opportunity to visit CAUP.

In order to make this year's ENAA a success we are counting on the participation of everyone!
