[IGSMAIL-8275] Celebration event Uraniae200 – AIUB100

[Adrian Jaeggi]

Dear colleagues

It is my great pleasure to announce that the Astronomical Institute of 
the University of Bern (AIUB) will celebrate this November a double 
anniversary: 200 years "Alte Sternwarte Bern" (old Observatory Bern) and 
100 years "Astronomisches Institut" (Astronomical Institute).

In 1822, the first observatory "Uraniae" was built at the current 
location of the building of Exact Sciences of the University of Bern, 
Switzerland, exactly where later on the origin of the Swiss National 
Survey was located. In 1922, the Observatory "Muesmatt" was built and 
officially inaugurated as the Astronomical Institute of the University 
of Bern (AIUB) on November 25, 1922.

On Friday, November 25 and on Saturday, November 26, 2022, the double 
anniversary will be celebrated with a ceremony, a scientific symposium, 
and exciting activities for the general public on-site. In addition, a 
commemorative publication ("Festschrift") will be available (in German). 
More details of the program may be found at
