4th BINA workshop “Moving forward with the Indo-Belgian cooperation in Astronomy”

As detailed in the first announcement, the fourth BINA Workshop is being organized at the Department of Physics, University of Calicut, Kerala, India. This workshop aims to unite collaborators from both countries, offering a platform to present the outcomes of their joint research and foster meaningful discussions. Those who are interested in joining this collaboration are strongly encouraged to participate and present their research in the meeting. Ample time will be dedicated to interactive sessions to encourage the exchange of ideas and future planning. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the Bulletin de la Société Royale des Sciences de Liège (a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal).
