THE ArAS V ANNUAL MEETING

(combined with the Byurakan Observatory 60^th Anniversary Meeting)

 

1-3 September 2006, Byurakan, Armenia

 

 

The Byurakan Observatory 60^th Anniversary Meeting was a part of celebrations. The First Byurakan International Summer School was also associated with these events (it took place on August 26 – September 3, 2006, in the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory). The school and the meeting were organized by the Byurakan Observatory and the Armenian Astronomical Society.

 

Due to participation in the school as lecturers, a number of foreign scientists took also part in the meeting making this annual meeting the most important from this point of views. 16 foreign and 14 Armenian students participated in the school, including students from Italy, Serbia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Jordan, from the Byurakan Observatory and the Yerevan State University.
