The symposium was devoted to the discussion of the observational data and theoretical ideas on the problem of flare stars and related objects – one of the most important problems from the point of view of stellar physics and evolution.

Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC): V.A. Ambartsumian (Chairman), R.E. Gershberg, A.G. Masevich, L.V. Mirzoyan, R.G. Mnatsakanian, V.S. Oskanian, E.S. Parsamian, V.V. Sobolev, and G.N. Salukvadze.

Local Organizing Committee (LOC):

Main topics:

• flare stars (observational data)
• flare stars (statistics and physical interpretation)
• T Tau stars, fuors and related objects
• other non-stable objects

Leading astronomers engaged in these problems from different astronomical institutions of the Soviet Union, as well as a number of foreign countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR, Italy, Japan, and UK) took part in the symposium. M. Rodono (Italy), F. Van Leeuwen (UK), W.Gotz (GDR), K. Kodaira (Japan), G. Szecsenyi-Nagy, and A. Grandpier (Hungary), A.A. Boyarchuk, R.E. Gershberg, A.M. Cherepashchuk, P.F. Chugainov, A.V. Tutukov (USSR), and others were among them.

Altogether there were 60 participants, including 29 from the Byurakan Observatory, 24 from other republics of the USSR and 7 foreign. 41 talks were presented, 13 of them – by scientific workers of BAO.
