BritGrav 14 @Cambridge
31 March 2014 - 1 April 2014
The 14th BritGrav (British Gravity) Meeting will be held on 31 March – 1 April 2014
at the University of Cambridge in St Catharine's College.
The meeting covers all areas of classical and quantum gravity, including astrophysics, cosmology, mathematical general relativity, gravitational wave data analysis and instrumentation. It is intended to bring together the entire gravitational research community to further collaboration and allow young researchers to showcase their work.
LSST@Europe: The Path to Science
9 September 2013 - 12 September 2013
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project is at an exciting phase, with first light planned for 2019 and science operations to start in 2021. This major conference will bring together LSST and European scientists to consider the scientific opportunities of LSST, its current status, the role of European expertise and facilities in partnership with LSST, and the science challenges.
MIND THE GAP
8 July 2013 - 12 July 2013
We are planning to host up to 150 registered participants and the main focus of the conference will be on theoretical and numerical modelling of physical processes relevant for galaxy formation. The programme is designed to be of scientific interest to non-numericists who want to learn about the scientific issues surrounding galaxy formation and evolution.
We aim to have participants from different scientific communities and extensive discussion of theoretical and numerical challenges will provide a common ground for close interaction.
Towards the science case for E-ELT HIRES
13 September 2012 - 14 September 2012
ESO has recently released an Instrumentation Roadmap for the E-ELT that foresees a high-resolution spectrograph either as Instrument Nr.4 or Nr.5. The optimal balance of the major science drivers for such an instrument need still to be defined. The aim of the workshop is to (further) define the science cases and science requirements for E-ELT HIRES, by bringing together people interested in the matter. This should be a rather informal meeting of about 50 participants.
New Horizons for High Redshifts
25 July 2011 - 29 July 2011
Topics to be covered:
- High-redshift galaxy evolution & star formation
- Hydrogen Reionization
- Evolution and enrichment of the early IGM
- High-redshift QSOs and AGN
- Lessons from He II Reionization
- Other probes of the z > 5 Universe
Invited speakers will include: Frank Bertoldi, Jamie Bolton, Rychard Bouwens, Joanna Dunkley, Richard Ellis, Steven Furlanetto, Piero Madau, Matthew McQuinn, Masami Ouchi, Dominik Reichers, Michael Shull, Brian Siana, Chris Willott and Saleem Zaroubi.
