The International Conference of Young Astronomers is a scientific
meeting of undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students of astronomy and
physics as well as more advanced astronomers. We, as young scientists, feel
a big need to contribute our share to this year's International Year of
Astronomy 2009 and use this opportunity to establish global, annual
conference for all scientists, researchers and advanced amateur astronomers
who could meet in future and work together in projects which will develop
modern astronomy.
For this reason we aim to arrange an international conference to broaden our
minds and to discuss challenging issues of astronomy. Furthermore, and most
important, the meeting gives a chance to get in touch with other young
scientists, with whom we might cooperate in the future.
Our goal is to establish ICYA as a regular conference, held once a year in
different countries, connecting young astronomers from all over the world.
Let's make it happen!
This year ICYA is organised by the Polish Astronomical Society in
collaboration with Polish universities (Jagiellonian University of Cracow,
University of Warsaw, Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań, Nicolaus
Copernicus University of Toruń, University of Zielona Góra, University of
Szczecin and Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Centre of Polish Academy of
Sciences) and hopefully will be supported by foreign universities and
astronomical societies as well as international astronomical organizations.
The conference will take place in Cracow, Poland, September 7 – 13.
