LIST OF SCIENTIFIC EVENTS 2022 APPROVED

The RA Science Committee approved the list of scientific events and youth schools 2022. Both scientific events submitted by the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) were approved:

• International Conference on “Space Sciences and Technologies”
• The 8th Byurakan International Summer School (8BISS).

The 8BISS will take place on September 12-16. The young participants of the school who are in Armenia will have the opportunity to participate in the international conference too, which will be held on September 19-23.

The Byurakan International Summer School was established in 2006. In 2018, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced the Byurakan International Summer School (BISS) as one of the 3 best astronomical schools in the world.

Space Sciences and Technologies have always been in the center of the observatory's attention. In 2019, a regional summer school on this topic was organized by the BAO to draw the attention of beginner astronomers and related MSc and PhD students towards the field.

Such scientific events play an important role in uniting experts of the field and creating a platform for communication, which in its turn contributes to the exchange of scientific experience and the development of science.
