Summary

The meeting was held 4.—6. of June 2012 in Haikko. The total number of participants was 68, from sixteen different institutes and organisations. Together there were 35 talks and 14 posters — there would have been even more interest for talk slots, and for the next Astronomer's days the organisers are charting different options to make event even longer (three full days, at least).

The organisers want to thank once again the sponsors for making this possible. In particular, the sponsorship by The Finnish Graduate School in Astronomy and Space Science allowed so many students to participate and meet other students and researchers, as well as practice giving talks and making posters (almost half of the talks were given by doctoral students!), and giving a very interesting overview of the astronomical research done in Finland.

See you again in 2014!
