A virtual international workshop about  "Transient events and multi messenger astrophysics”  was held on 28-29 July 2022 (6-7 Mordad 1401). This event was organized by IUT Department of Physics, the Iranian National Observatory(INO), and School of Astronomy (SoA) of the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM ).

This workshop aimed at having optimal use of the 3.4-meter telescope of the INO, and other available and future observation equipment by researchers and students, and also increasing the capacity and development of the specialized manpower. There were more than 290 registered participants including Postdocs, PhD, and MSc students with an average number of 100-140 attendees in each online presentation which attracted so much interests among astrophysics community of Iran. This rich program of the workshop was articulated in 16 lectures given by prominent speakers invited mainly from the most well-known universities of USA, UK, Italy, China, Armenia, and Iran. The workshop was started by an opening talk given by Prof. Habib Khosroshahi, the director of INO, about the current status of INO and 3.4-meter telescope. Afterwards, Prof. Hamidreza Safavi, the vice-president for research of IUT, talked about the scientific and technological potentials of IUT in different aspects and future perspectives of IUT-INO collaborations.

During two days of the workshop, the most recent and upcoming discoveries in the time-domain astronomy have been discussed extensively and large astronomical surveys and observational approaches as well as messengers have been introduced for the young generation of the Iranian astrophysicists.
