This is the list of all Saas-Fee courses organised by the SSAA since 1971. For recent courses we also provide links to the original webpage and to available course material. The lecture notes are published by Springer since 1990 in their Saas-Fee series. Earlier volumes, if available, can be ordered at the Geneva Observatory.
The 53rd Saas-Fee course “From stars to planets in the space-based photometry eras”, was held in 2024. More details below.
