Saas Fee Advanced Courses

The Saas Fee Advanced Courses, organized by the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy (SSAA), have been held annually since 1971. The courses cover important and timely fields of Astrophysics and Astronomy including related fields like computational methods.

The courses are given by two to four reputable researchers in those fields. Each lecturer covers a different aspect of the field on which he has his own expertise. Each course consists of 28 lectures of 45 minutes each, plus ample time for discussions and questions. The lectures are held from Monday to Saturday morning, in the morning and the late afternoon.

Springer publishes the updated lecture notes of the Saas Fee Advanced Courses in a specific book series. Many of them have become standard texts in their field. They are not only appreciated by graduate students, but are also used and cited as reference by researchers.
