PARTICIPATION OF ARMENIAN YOUNG ASTRONOMERS IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS

Participation at international summer and winter schools gives necessary knowledge and practical experience to young astronomers for doing high-level science. This practice is being maintained worldwide, though there are not so many astronomical schools. Byurakan international summer schools are now one of these important schools not only for the Armenian but also for foreign students. In addition, Armenian young astronomers have participated in a number of other international schools:
