Dear Friends!

   We announce the opening of the program "Astronomical Lyceum" which aim is the integration of astrophysical master's and postgraduate programs of the leading scientific centers in Russia. The issue of professionalism is now more than ever. Without solving it, Russia can not continue to astrophysical research at the global level. In Russia there are many big projects. In addition to ground-based research in the Special Astrophysical Observatory (CAO) and the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO), in Russia are being actively developed and underway and space research. This is a solar observatory program "CORONAS" Heliophysical Observatory "Intergeliozond" created by the LPI space radio telescope "Radioastron" and "Millimetron" as well as astrophysical projects, "Spectrum-UV," "Spektrum-X-Gamma" and "OSIRIS".

Coordinating Committee:

Carrying out the annual School of Modern Astrophysics (program School)

Organization of astrophysical tests (program Astrominimum)

Organization of training courses in leading research centers (program Academia)

Organization of the laboratory works on the leading astrophysical observatories (program Practicum)
