The meeting will be held during the week of July 28th - August 2nd, 2008. This one will be the kick-off meeting of a series organized by the Sexten Center for Astrophysics, which we are in the process of setting up, focused on extragalactic astronomy and large scale structure formation. 

The schedule of this first meeting is meant to be flexible and it is broadly organized by topics as follows:

July, 28th	Mon.	X-ray cluster surveys
July, 29th	Tue.	X-ray cluster surveys - Galaxy Evolution
July, 30th	Wed.	X-ray cluster surveys - Galaxy Evolution
July, 31th	Thur.	Lensing & Cosmology
August, 1st	Fri.	Cosmology

 

You are invited to give a presentation on your current research activity. Each contribution is expected to be an informal talk of at most 30 min, in order to leave a fair amount of time dedicated to discussion and collaborative work. Most importantly, the environment and format of the meeting is meant to stimulate discussions, foster collaborations and work on mutual projects in a nice and quiet place.

 

The Sesto Institute for Astrophysics is beautifully located in a modern elementary school in Sesto, surrounding by the Dolomites. You will have access to desks and wireless connection (about 20 desks in total).

Hotel booking can be done through the Agenzia del Turismo, as we will specify in a forthcoming email.

We look forward to the confirmation of your participation, specifying whether you stay for the whole week or just a few days, and a preliminary title of your presentation. We would like to receive this information at your earliest convenience and in any case before June 15th.

Looking forward to seeing you in Sesto!
