Summer School - 2024
From July 1 to 12, the Third Summer School of Astrophysics, supported by the Priority-2030 program of the MIPT, was held at the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO) in Moscow region. As part of the School, on July 6, the MIPT Day was organized, during which participants were able to visit the MIPT campus. The participants attended the lecture of the invited scientist Andrey Lobanov (Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Germany) "Black holes and their exotic relatives" (recording on YouTube). After the lecture and lunch, Professor of MIPT Vaily Semenovich Beskin introduced the School participants to the activities of the Laboratory.1 July 2024
