Summer School of Observational Astrophysics in Kryoneri, Corinthia
Between July 9 and 12, for the second year in a row, a three-day Summer School of Observational Astrophysics was held in Kryoneri, Corinthia, for graduate and final-year undergraduate students from across Greece. The students were hosted in a local guesthouse, observed the night sky with the 1.2-meter telescope of the Kryoneri Observatory as well as the Sun using a solar telescope and radio antenna, attended lectures, and were trained by Dr. Koulouridis, PhD candidate Ms. Drigga, Dr. Liakos, and Dr. Vardoulaki in techniques of analyzing observational data (optical and radio waves) from the Observatory's researchers. The local community once again warmly supported the School, creating a welcoming and collaborative environment for all. This year's highly successful event followed the first School held in 2023 and confirms that Kryoneri can evolve into a regular meeting point for those who love Astrophysics, with the Observatory at its center.
