The general purpose of the First Cosmology School in Kielce is to give
an introduction to the current knowledge in cosmology, both in theory
and observations. This School is intended for undergraduate and PhD
students, as well as young postdoctoral researchers, interested in
these fields.
Topics: Cosmic Microwave Background - spectrum and anisotropies; Cosmological
parameters from Planck data; Galaxy formation; Galaxy evolution;
Introduction to Sloan Digital Sky Survey; Present and future deep
galaxy surveys; Cosmology from Gamma Ray Bursts; Magnetic fields in
the Universe; Dark matter and dark energy; Radio galaxies across the
Universe; Cosmic Web; Computer simulations; Cosmological Observations
Lecturers: Marek Biesiada (US, Katowice); Łukasz Bratek (IFJ, Krakow);
Veronique Buat (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille); Denis
Burgarella (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille); Guido
Chincarini (Milano); Gianfranco De Zotti (Padowa, Trieste); Michał
Hanasz (UMK, Torun); Wojciech Hellwing (Durham University); Joanna
Jałocha-Bratek (IFJ, Krakow); Marek Jamrozy (UJ, Krakow); Jacek
Krełowski (UMK, Torun); Jerzy Krzesiński (UP, Krakow); Elena Panko
(OA, Nikolaev); Agnieszka Pollo (UJ, Krakow and NCBJ, Warszawa);
Andrzej Sołtan (CAMK, Warszawa); Tsutomu Takeuchi (Nagoya University);
Rien van de Weijgaert (Greningen)
Organisers: PTA, UJK, UJ
SOC: P. Flin (UJK, Kielce), A. Pollo (UJ, Krakow and NCBJ, Warszawa)

[message from Rolf Walder, Ecole Normale Superieure @Lyon]
Dear colleagues
I would like to announce an International School of Computational Astrophysics
at Les Houches, France, May 16-27 2016.
I would also like to distribute this information on your web-pages, bulletins,
within your community and, in particular, among your PhD-students and
young post-docs.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL
========================
Contemporary astrophysics is unthinkable without numerical
simulations. Applications range from in-depth studies of individual
physical processes, like particle acceleration in magnetic
reconnection, to scrutinizing the multi-physics nature of an object
class, for example the relative role of gravity, hydrodynamics,
radiation, chemistry, and magnetic fields for molecular clouds and
star formation. This wide physical interest, together with ever
advancing compute architectures, entails an equally wide range of
numerical and computational techniques.
The school aims at promoting this broad, multi-physics,
multi-technique perspective. It will survey numerical techniques for
different physics, illustrate their combination, address their
implementation on high performance compute platforms, and exemplify
strengths and limitations of individual and combined approaches. The
goal of the school is to broaden the participants' knowledge on
multi-physics modeling in astrophysics and to sharpen their awareness
of pitfalls when physically interpretation corresponding simulation
data.
