The approved applicants will receive full grant for travel (only by bus or train!) and living expenses at Rozhen, from our UNESCO-BRESCE contract.
After the School in Rozhen, there will be a meeting in Sofia “Challenges in modern Astrophysics”, 13-15 Oct. 2009, which is an OPTICON FP7 meeting, as a part of “Enhancing Community Skills”. Basic lectures on new developments in astrophysics will be given by well known EU astronomers. The approved students for the Rozhen School are invited to participate in this Sofia meeting, too. Applicants to the meeting in Sofia could apply to OPTICON (Prof. Michel Dennefeld, dennefel@aip.fr) for financial support for their stay in Sofia.

New control system for the 2m RCC-telescope
On March 26, 2009, representatives of the Institute of Astronomy and of the company Projectsoft (www.projectsoft.cz) signed a contract for the design and manufacturing of a new control system for the 2-meter telescope of the National astronomical observatory – Rozhen. The new system will fully replace the 30 years old telescope electronics and will guarantee for more effective implementation of the astronomical observations. According to the schedule, the new system must be put into operation in September 2009. This considerable upgrade of the 2-meter telescope is carried out with financial support by the National Science Fund (www.nsfb.net), project CVP01/002 (contract DÎ 02-85).
