Summary

The summer science school of modern astrophysics was held between July 15–26, 2014, in Zelenogorsk, near Saint Petersburg.

Forty young scientists from Russia, Armenia, Vietnam, Italy, Finland, Germany, India, Turkey, and Uzbekistan participated in the school. They were all selected by the organizing committee on a competitive basis.

The Dynasty Foundation, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and the RAS Scientific Council on Astronomy organized the school.
