International summer school for astronomy and astrophysics students is now over. During ten days groups of students were working on selected topics using GAIA and TESS data. Below we present results of the groups in short.
Astroseismology group managed to reproduce analysis of a red giant oscillations from Kepler. The group made a new analysis using TESS data also used MESA code to confront physical parameters obtained by photometry with evolutionary models.
The group studying eruptive stars used algorithms to identify eruptive red dwarfs in open clusters. They linked rotational velocity of dwarfs with their age and occurrence of the eruptions.
Members of the Exoplanetary group modeled transits of known exoplanets observed by TESS and managed to make some already known parameters more exact.
Eclipsing binaries group successfully used new version of PHOEBE to model selected binary system, using various input parameters.

At the beginning of April, the Day with ERC, an event for junior researchers took place. The aim of the discussion meeting for junior scientists is networking. Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was nominated as a representative from the Faculty of Science.
Since April 2024 for the next three years, CEPLANT center will lead the project COLOSSE funded by the Pathways to Synergies Call 2023 (Horizon Europe). COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research facilities in plasma-enabled surface engineering and boosts their potential for Horizon Europe and future EU R&I programs.
