Уважаемые читатели!
Редакция
"Астрокурьера" прежде всего обращает внимание
в этом выпуске на решение Оргкомитета "JENAM2001"
об организации минисимпозиумов по самому широкому
кругу вопросов. Это решение стало результатом
обращения Сопредседателей Евро-азийского астрономического
общества Н.Г.Бочкарева и В.Н.Обридко на практическую
невозможность участия астрономов стран СНГ в очередной
конференции Европейского астрономического общества
из-за чрезвычайно узкой тематики этой конференции.
В целом этот выпуск посвящен конференциям и школам
2001 года.
Он не претендует на полноту содержания, но и не
дублирует известные международные интернетовские
страницы. Редакция будет признательна читателям
за дополнительную информацию по этому вопросу.

2001
Workshop ISSUES IN UNIFICATION OF AGNs
Elba Island (Italy), May 21-24, 2001
You are welcome to attend, and we look
forward to see you in Elba. The total number
of participants is now around 85, substantially
in excess of our initial plans due to a
strong pressure from the AGN community.
You may find the list of participants at
the site
http://www.arcetri.astro.it/~elba01/participants.html
A third circular with detailed logistic
information, including point of contact
for hotel booking, transportation, etc.
will be mailed to the entries in that list
in late February. In the meantime, note
that if there is sufficient interest we
plan to organize a bus service from and
to Pisa. Indicatively, on Sunday May 20
the bus(es) should leave Pisa Railway Station
at 14.45, and Pisa Airport at 15.00. On
Friday May 25 the bus(es) should arrive
in Pisa at around 12.00.
We have also prepared a preliminary scientific
program, which can be viewed at http://www.arcetri.astro.it/~elba01/preliminary.html
Many of those who proposed
a contribution have been included. If you
asked to talk, and did not receive a ``Sorry,
but ...'' message, then you should find
your name in the program. Small adjustments
are still possible, of course, and the information
will be updated in real time.
Thank you again for your
enthusiasm,

"INFRARED
AND SUBMILLIMETER SPACE ASTRONOMY"
An International Conference to Honor the
Memory of Guy Serra, June 11-12-13, 2001
"Centre des Congres", Toulouse, France
FIRST
ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Colleague,
We cordially invite you to a conference
held in Toulouse (France) to honor the memory
of Guy Serra.
Guy Serra died prematurely on August 15th
2000. He was one of the most active pioneer
in the field of infrared and submillimeter
space astronomy. After a PhD thesis on gamma
ray astrophysics in 1973, he was among the
very first to measure the far-infrared dust
emission from our Galaxy with the AGLAE
balloon-borne experiment. He then devoted
his whole career to contribute in a decisive
manner to the emergence and achievment of
the infrared and submillimeter space program
at the French and European levels with the
AROME and PRONAOS balloon borne experiments,
and with the satellite missions: ISO, ODIN,
Planck and FIRST. Guy Serra was both a great
scientist and a great humanist. Director
of research at CNRS, his sudden departure
leaves a tremendous empty space.
With the coming launches of SIRTF, Planck
and FIRST, the infrared and submillimeter
astronomy now enters in its golden age.
The conference "INFRARED AND SUBMILLIMETER
SPACE ASTRONOMY", dedicated to Guy Serra,
will consider both the scientific and instrumental
aspects and cover the following topics:
1. Dust and gas properties
2. Structure of the ISM and star formation
3. Extragalactic science
4. Future missions
Besides invited talks,
half of the program will be dedicated to
contributed talks presenting new results
in the field. For more details on the program
and the organisation of the conference,
please refer to our Web site at http://www.cesr.fr/~moly/DSTUF/colloque_uf/index.html
We sincerely hope that you will consider
coming to Toulouse. If you are interested,
please return the pre-registration form
below by e-mail to gs2001@cesr.fr;
further information will then be sent to
you. May we also ask you to bring this announcement
to the attention of your colleagues.
Practical information
The conference fee will be of 152 Euros
(1000 FF). This will include the abstract
book, the lunch meals, the conference dinner
and the proceedings.
DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION : MARCH 15TH
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS : APRIL 15TH
Lodging: The conference center is within
the old city of Toulouse. We have done grouped
bookings in several hotels which are at
walking distance. The hotel list, with indicative
prices ,will be available through our web
pages.
The participants will have to arrange their
accomodation in these hotels by themselves.

Balkan
Meeting of Young Astronomers"
25 - 29 September 2000
The astronomers joined up
at Belogradchik during the "Balkan Meeting
of Young Astronomers" (25 - 29 September
2000) proposed to set up the astronomical
group of the South-Eastern countries of
Europe that will be affiliated to the European
Astronomical Society.
One of the purposes of this group is to
organize from time to time the Joint Regional
Meetings dedicated to a special topic of
common interest. Indeed, it is easier to
bring together people from a small area
of Europe; they can attend such a meeting
using the bilateral protocols and, the shorter
the distances, the smaller the travel costs
will be. Such a meeting could be organized
as a seminar, offering everyone the opportunity
to present his topic and to discuss it.
The conclusion of such a meeting could be
a common research project, to be submitted
to the European Community for support.
The committee charged with the selection
of the multilateral scientific projects
is made up of Dr. Milcho Tsvetkov (Bulgaria),
Prof. Dr. Mijat Mijatovic (FYR of Macedonia),
Prof. Michael E. Contadakis (Greece), Dr.
Boris Zhilyaev (Ukraine), Dr. Milan Dimitrijevic
(Yugoslavia), and chaired by Dr. Magda Stavinschi
(Romania, magda@roastro.astro.ro).

4-7 October, 2001
First Announcement
Dear colleagues!
With great pleasure we are announcing,
that in October 4 -- 7, 2001 the Third scientific
conference "Selected tasks of astronomy
and astrophysics ", devoted to the memory
B.T.Babij (1936-1993), will take place in
Lviv.
Bohdan T. Babij has been working more than
30 years at the Lviv university and had
made the significant contribution to astrophysics,
in particular in the theory of star and
solar spectra. For a cycle of works on an
explanation of Fraunhofer spectrum and solar
atmosphere structure, he became the winner
of the M.P.Barabashov award in the field
of astronomy. Bohdan Babij was the author
of more than 100 scientific works, wellknown
popular writer and propagandist of astronomy,
