Dear participants!

On September 24, in the afternoon, it is planned to depart to the observatory (ShAO, distance 140 km), and in the following days the meetings will continue there. Therefore, on September 24 and 25, participants will live in guest houses and cottages at the observatory. We ask those who have not yet chosen a place in guest apartments or cottages, please, to do so in advance.

The conference is scheduled to end on September 26. After the conference, those who have a return ticket for September 27 or other subsequent dates can stay at the observatory for a few more days if they wish. For those wishing to come to Baku immediately after the conference, we will provide a special bus. If you have a plan to stay in Baku for a few more days, then we ask you to take care of your accommodation yourself in advance.
