Astrophysics Camp in Temešvár
18 Jun 2026-21 Jun 2026
Students from all Czech universities, as well as professionals interested in astrophysics, can now register for the Astrophysics Camp organized by the Aldebaran association, which brings together experts from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) and the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (FNSPE) at CTU. The event will take place from June 18 to June 21, 2026, at the FEL CTU sports and recreation center in Temešvár near Písek. The program will feature expert lectures, stargazing far from urban light pollution, and a variety of sports activities.
Participants can look forward to lectures by Prof. Petr Kulhánek from FNSPE CTU, who will talk about recent developments, unusual phenomena in astrophysics, and scientific misconceptions. Other speakers include, for example, Jakub Rozehnal, Director of the Prague Planetarium. The night sky will be guided by astronomy popularizer Ivan Havlíček, and MUDr. Vítězslav Kříha from Bulovka Hospital, who previously worked at FEL CTU and was a regular guest at the “Physics Thursdays” series.
Among the sports activities available to participants are volleyball, table tennis, and even canoeing or windsurfing, as the recreation center is located near the Orlík Reservoir. During the camp, participants can also take various trips in the surrounding area. A popular destination is Zvíkov Castle, which can even be reached on foot, offering a pleasant hike in nature. About a 30-minute drive away, visitors can also explore attractions such as the Crocodile Zoo in Protivín. In the evenings, participants gather around a campfire, roast sausages, play guitar, and sing together.
The participation fee is CZK 1,500 per person and includes accommodation, full board at the recreation center, and the entire professional program. You can register now on the Aldebaran association’s website. Capacity is limited, so don’t wait until the last minute to sign up.
