Benasque 2006 Workshop on Modern Cosmology

Post by Julien Lesgourgues » November 04 2005

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the extended workshop "Modern Cosmology:
Inflation, CMB and LSS", to be held in the Benasque Center for Science
(in the Spanish Pyrenees, with web site
http://benasque.ecm.ub.es/2006cosmology ... mology.htm)
from the 30th of July to the 18th of August 2006.

This event is aimed at bringing together international experts on both
theoretical and observational aspects of Cosmology, within a particularly
beautiful and inspiring atmosphere, below the pic of the Aneto (the
highest point in the Pyrenees). The program will consist mainly in a few
lectures and long discussion sessions, and will leave plenty of time in
the afternoon for interactions and research, as well as for mountain
hiking. In the evening, the village offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere
that we will complete with various social and cultural activities.

The list of confirmed speakers is:

Carlton Baugh, Alain Blanchard, Dick Bond, François Bouchet,
Cliff Burgess, Francisco Castander, Edmund Copeland, Cedric Deffayet,
Olivier Doré, Georgi Dvali, Joshua Frieman, Jaume Garriga,
Christopher Hirata, Shamit Kachru, Renata Kallosh, Nemanja Kaloper,
Lev Kofman, Ofer Lahav, Anthony Lasenby, Andrew Liddle (TBC),
Andrei Linde, David Lyth, Patrick McDonald, Eduard Masso,
Jordi Miralda Escudé, Ben Moore, Viatcheslav Mukhanov , Hiranya Peiris,
Fernando Quevedo (TBC), Misao Sasaki, Roman Scoccimarro, David Spergel,
Alexei Starobinsky, Max Tegmark (TBC), Matias Zaldarriaga.

All participants will be accommodated in hotel rooms, or in nice
apartments arranged by the Center for Science with a cost of 450 to 550
euros per apartment and per week, depending on the size (1 to 3 bedrooms).
Families are particularly welcomed.

*** Early applications are encouraged since we have a limited number of
apartments available. ***

We do not expect to be able to cover travelling or living expenses but
there is no registration fee.
