The N+N Young Researchers' Workshop scheme, initiated and funded by the British Council, aims to provide an opportunity for young researchers to exchange ideas, knowledge and information by coming together in the form of N+N workshops and meetings. Here the term N+N workshop refers to a workshop involving a number of researchers from the UK and an equal number of local researchers. The workshops are followed by real and virtual networking to sustain the contacts made with a view to produce a proposal for longer term externally funded collaboration or applications for further funding. As at the Department of Astronomy of the Eötvös University we have had a tradition of national workshops of young researchers in astronomy and astrophysics with similar characteristics, the call for meeting proposals by the British Council seemed an ideal way to extend the geographical scope of our meeting, while still maintaining its general format and spirit. Thus, this year's Hungarian Young Researchers' Workshop in Astronomy and Astrophysics was held in tandem with the British-Hungarian N+N workshop, and the contributions are also presented together in this volume. For the topic of this year's meeting we chose "Computer processing and use of satellite data in astronomy and astrophysics". The reason for this is that, thanks to a high number of space probes, in the past decades a vast amount data has been collected from the extraterrestrial world, from the magnetosphere to the most distant galaxies and beyond. We are now in a situation where the amount data grows much faster than the speed by which they can be processed and duly analyzed. The workshop was devoted to methods aimed at improving on this situation, as well as to scientific results born out of the use of space data. The workshop was open to post-doctoral scientists and engineers and those tenured for five years or less. PhD students in an advanced phase of their project were also admitted. The number of participants from the U.K. was nine, while a total of 13 applications were accepted from Hungary for the N+N workshop (with many more participants at the adjoining national workshop). It is to be noted that from the nine UK participants, only four were British citizens, the rest hailing from Armenia, Germany, Hungary, and Italy. Nevertheless, all have been residing in the UK for years, and this composition reflects well the international character and openness of current British academic research.
