International Astronomical Youth Camp 2009 - Call for applications

Imagine spending 3 weeks of your summer in a beautiful mountain scenery
working with other students from all over the world on an astronomical
project of your choice.If you enjoy watching starry skies and would like to
meet people who are interested in astronomy - consider applying for the
International Astronomical Youth Camp.

The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a three-week long summer
camp aiming to promote knowledge on astronomy and related sciences in a
unique international atmosphere. Each year it takes place at a different
European location, this year in the Beskid Zywiecki district in southern
Poland which is part of the outer Eastern Carpathians.

As a participant you will explore astronomy related projects in one of the 8
working groups - together with other young people. These projects are done
in a working group of your choice and depend on your own interest. The
working groups themselves will be led by young scientists and concentrate on
a specific field in astronomy. This year these are:

Amateur Astronomy,
Basic Astro-Questions,
Brainstorming on Life, Universe and Everything,
Photons of Destiny,
Quantum and Computation,
Simulating the Universe in Motion
Suns, Extrasolar Planets
Time Travel Team.

Of course apart from the astronomical program, there are many
non-astronomical activities such as group games, sport events, singing
evenings, hiking tours and an excursion.

For more details, application for and pictures from previous camps check out

Best Regards,
The IAYC Leaderteam
