| First announcement The Conference MAO-2014 is devoted to the 70th anniversary 
of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences 
of Ukraine (MAO NASU). It is well respected as important event 
for the international co-operation in the field of astronomy and 
astrophysics in Ukraine. The Conference main topics are: 
Star formation in galaxies of different morphological types. 
  Evolution of low-mass stars (solar-type stars, cool, and 
  ultracool dwarfs).Modelling of the dynamical evolution of galaxies and galactic 
  structures. High resolution modelling of the galactic center 
  dynamics. Supermassive black hole co-evolution with galactic 
  center. Supermassive black hole merging in galactic center 
  environments.Researches of Solar System planets and their satellites 
  by methods of spectroscopy, photometry and polarimetry. 
  Exoplanet systems and stars with disc structure: 
  theory and experiment.Physics and dynamics of small Solar System bodies: 
  comets, asteroids and Kuiper Belt objects.Solar magnetism and solar spectropolarimetry.Cosmic plasma and energetic particles in heliosphere.Fundamental and applied astrometry and geodynamics.
  Celestial and terrestrial reference frames. Application 
  of space and ground astrogeodetic techniques. Agenda We plan to present historical review of astronomical schools of 
thought as well as to address issues of sustainable development 
of astronomical investigation in Ukraine. It will be make 
an assessment of new challenges and trends in the field of astronomy 
and astrophysics. As one of the special issue of Conference will 
be accent to the importance of social factors in the sustainable 
development of science. We will also emphasize the importance of 
mutual co-operation at all levels, from local to international. The Conference agenda will include invited speakers, oral 
contributions, and posters. A preliminary program and further 
information about the Conference will be given later. Language The Conference language will be English. Location The Conference is organized by the Main Astronomical 
Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and 
the Ukrainian Astronomical Association.
