Abstract

BINA-3 has been the third workshop of this series involving scientists from India and Belgium aimed at fostering future joint research in the view of cutting-edge observatories and advances in theory. BINA-3 was held at the Graphic Era Hill University, 22-24 March 2023 at Bhimtal (near Nainital), Uttarakhand, India. A major event was the inauguration of the International Liquid-Mirror Telescope (ILMT), the first liquid mirror telescope devoted exclusively to astronomy. BINA-3 provided impressive highlights encompassing topics of both general astrophysics and solar physics. Research results and future projects have been featured through invited and contributed talks, and poster presentations.
