Although we aren't a teaching institution, fostering the next generation of astronomers is extremely important to us. We took 12 of our sponsored/supervised undergraduates to Piszkéstető Station to introduce them to our telescopes. Huge thanks to the grad student team who organized the whole event!

Young Scientist Kickoff Workshop, to kick off 2025 and the Spring semester! Three days of co-working for our sponsored and supervised undergraduates and PhD students, where they could show their projects to each other and get to know each other better.
