Junge AG Winterschool, Heidelberg, 2022
In the city of Heidelberg, from 26. to 27. 11. 2022, the JAG (Junge Astronomische Gesellschaft) Winter School was held. On the night before the start of the Winter School, the participants and the organizing team met over dinner, and exchanged the expectations for the upcoming event. Early next morning, a bus from downtown took participants to Koenigstuhl, to the beautiful House of Astronomy (Haus der Astronomie), where all the workshops and talks were held.

Before leaving Koenigstuhl, all of the participants had an unconferenced discussion, lead by Markus Hundertmark, the main organizer of the Winter School. At the end of the day, all of the participants had the oportunity to visit the Castle with funicular, and climb down to the Heidelberg Christmas Market. We will use this oportunity to thank our main organizer Markus Hundertmark, and to all of the participants, with the hope that they went home enriched with new knowledge and experiences.Group photography
