SUMMARY:17th Festival in Popular Astronomy in Constantine\, Algeria
DESCRIPTION:Year after year since 2001\, the National Festivals in Popular Astronomy are held for the benefit of the general public and the astronomy community. The subject for this edition is “Under One Sky” in tune with the IAU100 celebrations going on this year which are celebrating the excitement of the past century of astronomical discoveries and will highlight the important role of astronomy for education\, as well as social and economical development. With implementation in over 100 countries\, IAU100 is a great opportunity for astronomers\, science communicators and educators around the world to reach out to the general public\, policy-makers\, teachers\, students and inspire them about the wonders of the Universe. Other topics including space sciences will be dealt with. There will also be an Astronomy and Space Fair\, lectures\, workshops. All these activities have made this Festival throughout the years a much sought astronomical rendez- vous in the region… \nThe aims of the 17th National Festival in Popular Astronomy are to: \n\nSpread the culture of astronomy\, and concomitantly the culture of science;\nProvide thematic training for Amateur Astronomers/Education & Public Outreach Individuals;\nKindle/Strengthen continental links between astronomy associations and participating individuals;\nEngage in joint education and outreach projects.

SUMMARY:IAU symposium - Ethiopia: Nuclear Activity in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time
DESCRIPTION:Organizing this IAU symposium in Ethiopia about the ‘Nuclear Activity in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time’ has two main objectives. First\, we want to have a general overview of AGN physics\, including recent findings and progress in observations\, simulations\, and theory\, and to discuss some of the open questions required for the understanding of the role of AGN in the broader context of galaxy evolution. Second\, with this symposium we would like to bring for the first time world experts in our field to the East-African region and contribute to the development of science in Ethiopia and Africa\, which is very much needed. Different countries of Sub-Saharan Africa\, including Ethiopia\, are now having first generations of students doing their MSc and PhD degrees. By organising this sympoisum in Ethiopia\, we want to contribute to inspire new generation of scientists\, and in particular astrophysicists. We also want to show our support to countries that just now start the scientific and technological development in astronomy and space science. In addition\, a training for graduate students and for the secondary school teachers will be carried out by conference experts before and after the symposium. Outreach activities will be also organised for general public and school children who for the first time will have an opportunity to interact with world expert astronomers.
