Dear Colleague,
We are proud to announce that the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Moscow State University (SAI) and Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory of Astro Space Center of P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute (PRAO ASC LPI) organize a 5-day conference

The conference “Dynamics and evolution of disc galaxies” will be held May 31st - June 04th, 2010, in Pushchino, Moscow region, Russia, and in Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow, Russia
1. Main scientific objectives.
Dynamics of the stellar and gaseous components in disc galaxies
Disc structure and formation of substructures, such as bulges, bars, spirals, rings, etc.
The effect of dark matter on disc galaxy evolution
Star formation in relation with other properties of disc galaxies
Chemical versus dynamical evolution.
All the above will be discussed from both the theoretical and observational points of view
2. Who will attend
Those who are involved in or concerned with the progress in the field of investigation of disc galaxies and their evolution.
3. Language
