Scientific articles based on plenary and section reports are invited to be published as regular papers in the current issue of «Odesa Astronomical Publications» (http://oap.onu.edu.ua/), which will be completed this year.

We also plan to publish reports on radioastronomy in «Radioastronomy and Radiophysics» in this year.

 
Working language of the Gamow International Conference is English.

 
To the attention of the conference participants from Ukraine! In connection with the possibility of opening the summer season in Odesa and the availability of city beaches, there is the possibility of coming to Odesa and accommodation in various hostels, hotels and recreation centers in Arcadia and Chernomorka. As the situation becomes clearer, the Second Announcement will provide information about the place, cost of living and contact numbers. Booking accommodation each of the participants must decide independently.
