On the occasion of Arab Conference on Astronomy and Geophysics (ACAG, 7th Edition)


The ArAS School for Astrophysics is an initiative of the Arab Astronomical Society (ArAS).

ArAS SfA's objective is to give brilliant and motivated students, interested by the astronomy, the opportunity to be trained by international professional astronomers due to the lack of research in astronomy in the Arab World.

ArAs SfA-5 is endorsed by the Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). It will provide a platform for astrophysics knowledge sharing, triggering collaborations between fellow Arab astrophysicists, and building a strong professional Arab community in the field.
Based on our experience on the First Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (FAWSA) and the Second Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (AWSA-II), the Third ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-3), and the Fourth ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-4), the content of ArAS SfA-5 will focus mainly on different practices and skills of professional astronomers. The scope of AWSA-5 will cover the following fields:
