Contacts

A range of topics in cosmology will be taught at the conference by eminent scholars in the field (see the preliminary list on this page). There will also be time for students and postdocs to present posters and give short talks. We hope that the beauty of the natural and cultural environment will act as a catalyst for young researchers to interact and generate new ideas. Advanced graduate students and postdocs interested in attending are encouraged to contact members of one of the three participating institutions for information.
