Opening

     

My dear friends

      

On behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to thank you very much for your participation in this workshop and to welcome you to Greece and to Platamonas, the beach of Olympus Gods.

        

The organizers of this workshop are the Astrophysical Spectroscopy Teams of University of Athens and the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade. Additionally, I have to point out and to remind that the organization of this scientific meeting in Greece was an idea of my friends Milan and Luka.

    

The aim of the workshop is to discuss current problems in investigation of absorption and emission lines in spectra of stars and quasars. The participants of the workshop are the members of the two Astrophysical Spectroscopy Teams, which have been collaborating in investigation of absorption/emission lines in hot stars and in quasars, aiming to find similarities and differences between emitting/absorbing regions. There are several open questions which will be discussed during this workshop, as e.g. the applicability of GR model to the spectra of quasars with broad absorption lines, the role of wind in quasars and hot stars - similarity and differences, etc. Beside these two groups, we have with us excellent experts who can help us in particular problems.

    

During the workshop there are special Sessions in History and Philosophy of Astronomy and Physical Sciences.

     

Τhe scientific group of History and Philosophy of Astronomy and Physical Sciences at the University of Athens and the corresponding scientific group at the Observatory of Belgrade have been collaborating since 2000 till today.

      

The contents of these Sessions will be:

1. A brief review of our common scientific collaboration.

2. Programming of specific actions in the subjects of our common research.

3. An extension of our collaboration with the corresponding groups of other countries, such as Romania, Bulgaria, Russia etc.

      

At this point we would like to thank the organizing committee and Mrs G. Mitsiou for the courageous efforts to organize this workshop faraway from Athens and the sponsors of the workshop that offer us the ability to organize this meeting.

       

Finally, we would like to thank our friends Milan and Luka for the help, the friendship and the fruitful collaboration during these ten years.

       

Good work, be happy and enjoy the days of the

1st workshop in astrophysical winds and disks - Similar phenomena in stars and quasars

       

    

Ouzo Dinner

    

 

My dear friends and colleagues

   

This is the last day of the scientific part of the 1st workshop in astrophysical winds and disks - Similar phenomena in stars and quasars. We would like to thank you very much for your participation in this workshop.

     

The little piece of Athens’ olive, taken from the park of the Accademy of Plato that we offer you, is only a small souvenir that represents the friendship among the members and the collaborators of our scientific teams.

     

As we know the organizers of this workshop are the Astrophysical Spectroscopy Teams of University of Athens and the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade. Additionally I would like to remind that the organization of this scientific meeting in Greece was an idea of my friends Milan and Luka.

     

As this is the first workshop that we organize, we know that probably there were some mistakes in the social and the scientific part of the workshop. In order to correct these mistakes and improve the “2ndworkshop in astrophysical winds and disks” that will take place after about two years, we need your comments, new ideas and propositions.

       

We should not forget to thank the organizing committee and Ms G. Mitsiou for the courageous efforts to organize this workshop faraway from Athens and the sponsors of the workshop that offer us the ability to organize this meeting.

       

Finally, we would like to thank our friends Milan and Luka for the help, the friendship and the fruitful collaboration during these ten years.

     

My dear friends Milan and Luka, on behalf of our scientific team, allow me to offer you a little present as an indication of our fillings and a warm thank you of your help.

    

      

Welcoming from Thouli Sidiropoulou (organizer of the excursion)

 

Dear participants of the 1st workshop in Astrophysical Winds and Disks.

    

It’s my delight to welcome you on behalf of the Culture and Development Network of the Ecological Democracy, in Macedonia, the Hellenic region that gave birth to Aristotle, Filippos and Alexander the Great.

    

Our Union, besides everything else, has as a mission the advance of collaboration of the Nations through education, science, culture, communication and the information and participation in the doings of the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization of the United Nations.

    

These actions intend to forward and give a new push to education and to the spread of literacy, as to conserve, increase and save knowledge.

    

Based on these doings of ours, with great joy, we guided you in Vergina the sacred city of Macedonians, where the tomb of Filippos, the father of Alexander the Great, is, and the academy of Aristotle, where after the 4th century B.C., as the ancient writers quote, Aristotle taught the classic Hellenic thought and the ideals of the Platonian Philosophy to the son of Filippos II, King of Macedonia, Alexander and to all the aristocrats of the Macedonian yard.

    

As I know, today is the last day of the workshop and as it is used in Greece, with this “Hellenic Symposium”, on behalf of my association I would like to wish you a nice trip and to wish you to meet again in the 2nd Workshop in Astrophysical Winds and Disks.

    

Thank you for visiting us and have a nice trip.
