The direct purpose of organising an "Astronomy and Astrophysics School" is to teach young authors how to express their scientific results through adequate and efficient science writing. In other words: how to write scientific papers for different forums (journals, proceedings, thesis manuscripts, etc.). To this end, a three-day training course is organised.

All lecturers have long professional experience in publishing, editorial matters, scientific writing and library and database management.

The first Astronomy & Astrophysics School "Scientific Writing for Young Astronomers" will take place on 19-20-21 May 2008.
