Dear Colleagues,
we organise a "Kosmologietag" in Bielefeld on 11/12 May 2006. The idea is to focus on theoretical cosmology and to have informal talks by young scientists (diploma and doctoral students and young post-docs) and maybe one invited overview talk of a more senior person in the evening.
We will meet at the IBZ (Internationales Begegnungszentrum) Bielefeld.
The plan is to start after lunch, such that you can travel in the morning, to
have two or three sessions of short informal talks followed by a dinner at the
IBZ and maybe an afterdinner talk by a senior speaker. On the second day we
will have another two sessions and finish before lunch, so that travel back
home is possible at the second day.
We made reservations for 20 students at the
Jugendgästehaus Bielefeld
(per person 22.50 Euro for a triple and 30 Euro for a double room)
and we have made reservation in the Hotel Mercure for more senior persons
(63 Euro).
The Kosmologietag will be jointly organised by the Virtual Institute for Particle Cosmology (VIPAC) and the Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology Group of the University of Bielefeld . Participants are invited from the VIPAC member groups and from Bielefeld and nearby universities. The medium term plan is to establish a regular informal meeting, like the biannual UK cosmology meeting, in Germany.
Best wishes,
Dietrich Bödeker
