The Young Astronomers Meeting 2026

→ Europe/Warsaw
Lecture Hall (Hybrid)

Lecture Hall (Hybrid)

Bartycka 18 00-716 Warsaw
Description

The Young Astronomers Meeting 2026 will be held in hybrid format (both on-site and on the Zoom platform) from March 18th 2026, to March 20th 2026, at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (CAMK PAN).

The goal of the meeting is to familiarise students interested in astronomy with doctoral studies and summer practice opportunities at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (CAMK PAN) (recruitment call is now open, please refer to Doctoral School & Recruitment). This meeting also provides an opportunity for students to present their conducted research in front of a larger audience.

The talks will cover a broad range of topics from astronomy and astrophysics, such as:

  • Stellar astrophysics
  • Binary systems
  • Cosmic distance scale
  • Dense matter and neutron stars
  • Black holes
  • Accretion processes
  • Structure and evolution of active galaxies
  • Gravitational waves
  • Cosmology
  • Dark matter

 

We invite you to register for this event by 17th March 2026. We also encourage students to submit abstracts for presentation or poster sessions to showcase their research during the meeting. The deadline for the abstract call is 15th March 2026.

There is no participation fee for the event, online or offline. Limited on-site participation slots and limited accommodations for participants who want to join in person from outside of Warsaw.

For any more information, please get in touch with the LOC through email at young.astro.meeting@camk.edu.pl
