| 2. EAS Membership |
|
We would like to remind all our members that the European Astronomical Society (EAS) is offering free membership to all junior and ordinary members of HelAS, as well as members of all EAS affiliated societies. As a result, with just the HelAS annual membership fee, one may also receive all EAS member benefits, presented here. As of today 211 Ordinary/Junior members of HelAS, listed here, have become members of EAS.
Once a year we have the possibility to update this list so new members of HelAS, as well as old members who did not take advantage of this opportunity can benefit from the EAS membership. EAS may use the members’ data for EAS-only matters, such as sending e-mails with various information, as well as the EAS newsletter, logging on the EAS website, etc. The EAS will never sell or otherwise make available the members’ data to commercial or non-commercial third parties. Members that leave the EAS can request that their data be erased from the EAS database.
All members of HelAS who are not already EAS members and wish to join may send an e-mail to president@helas.gr with the following sentence as the Subject line.
“I am an Ordinary/Junior member of HelAS and I wish to join EAS for free!”
The e-mail must be received by September 30, 2022.

5. Summer School of Hel.A.S.

After a two year delay due to the pandemic, the 4th Summer School of the Society, entitled "The Milky Way Galaxy - Formation and Evolution", was successfully held in Athens during 25-27 July 2022. The target audience of the School was MSc and graduate students. The lectures, which were given by invited national and international senior researchers, covered a wide range of topics, including dynamics and kinematics, accretion history, ISM and star formation, and a zoom into the Galactic Center. Participants had also the opportunity to familiarize with topics covered by the lectures through hands-on exercises. Slides of the presentations will become available on the School’s webpage.
