<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The 46th International School for Young Astronomers will take place at Yachay Tech University, Urcuquí, Ecuador, <strong>from the 7th to the 25th of July 2025</strong>. The International School for Young Astronomers (ISYA) is a long-tradition project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), nowadays also co-sponsored by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (NASL) through the Office for Young Astronomers (OYA). The 46th ISYA is co-organized by the OYA, and four universities in Ecuador, namely Yachay Tech University, Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Universidad Central del Ecuador, and Universidad del Azuay.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We invite applications to attend this School from students in their early MSc/PhD studies in Latin America and Caribbean countries. Final-year BSc students intending to enrol in a graduate program in Astronomy and Astrophysics will also be considered.</span></p>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The 46th ISYA aims to broaden the attending young students’ perspective on Astronomy from their exposure to an intensive three-week program of lectures with up-to-date astrophysics, both on theory and observations, led by an international team of experts. Students will learn about different astronomical fields, from Stellar Physics to Cosmology, and acquire technical expertise to analyze current astronomical data and models.</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The official language of the School will be English. Although the ISYA is not a research conference, we encourage students to submit posters to present a summary of their research projects.</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Apart from the academic school activities, students will also have the opportunity to experience the archaeological, artistic and scientific environments around the north of Ecuador through cultural visits, events and travels.</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We will accept around 30 young astronomers, and they will be granted scholarships to cover travel from their home cities and the entire board during the School. All selected students are expected to commit 100% of their time to the three-week program and participate in all scheduled activities.</span><br>
