Visit of YerPhI delegation to Zagreb and Athens
On September 4-18 the YerPhI delegation (Chilingarian A., Mailyan B., Hovhannisyan A.) participated in the International conference on the Heliophysical Phenomena and Earth Environment in Shibenik, Croatia. The regional meeting of Balkanian-Black and Caspian sea was held for the third time within the framework of the International Heliophysical Year, now turned to International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) supported by NASA and Outer Space Office of the UN in Vienna. The program of scientific instruments network in which YErPhI actively participates, deploying SEVAN particle detectors in Croatia and Bulgaria, got bust in the new initiative to start officially in 2010.
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, minister of Economy Nerses Yeritsyan and minister of Forign Affairs Edward Nalbandian visited Croatia on September 8, met with Croatian and Armenian physicists in Zagreb observatory and congradulated them with the successful collaboration and launching of SEVAN node in Croatia.

On September 14 at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens started a training course “Cosmic rays and neutron monitors”, organized by the NMDB consortium (FP7 programme). Armenian PhD students actively participated in the school and presented two reports. A.Chilingarian delivered a lecture on the particle detectors for the space weather and solar physics research.
