The Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), Kashmir and Kashmir University jointly organised a two-day programme in collaboration with the Inter- University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, IUCAA, Pune and the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. The purpose was to bring researchers from Northern India together to discuss the recent developments, opportunities and challenges in the field of Astronomy and Astrophysics with an emphasis on regional a d v a n c eme n t i n a s t r o n omy a n d astrophysics. The event was coordinated by Naseer Iqbal, University of Kashmir and RanjeevMisra, IUCAA. Seminars/ColloquiaorganisedbyICARD Himalayan Meet of Astronomers (25 and 26September2023)
