French-Armenian Colloquium 2009

21-25 Sep 2009, Byurakan, Armenia
The second Armenian-French Colloquium was organized in Byurakan to summarize the results of the last decade cooperation and point out the most promising ways and fields of cooperation. Up to nowadays the French-Armenian collaboration in astronomy was actually a simple sum of the joint works between individuals. New project were more focused on a definite field of investigations. BAO returns mostly to the problems connected with the evolution of cosmic objects. Namely, the role of active processes in the evolution of cosmic objects explicitly or implicitly manifested in their physical characteristics should be studied in detail. The colloquium could help in determining the strategy of joint investigations.
