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

Varying Constants and Fundamental Cosmology (VARCOSMOFUN'16) in Szczecin,
Poland
When: Mon 12 Sep 2016 to Sat 17 Sep 2016
Location: Szczecin, Poland
Information and registration: https://indico.cern.ch/e/varcosmo16
Conference email: varcosmo16 wmf.univ.szczecin.pl
Dear Collegues,
We invite you to take part in the conference ?Varying Constants and
Fundamental Cosmology? which will take place in Szczecin, Poland from 12th
to 17th of September 2016. This is the fourth of fundamental cosmology
conferences organized by the Cosmology Group, University of Szczecin
(after Cosmofun'2005, Grasscosmofun'09, Multicosmofun'12).
The task of the conference is to bring together specialists dealing with
the problem of varying (dynamical) physical constants, fundamental
cosmology (alternative gravities, superstring, brane, etc.) and multiverse
who want to exchange the current ideas in these topics. The program of the
conference will contain 5 plenary morning sessions and 4 afternoon
parallel sessions. The last day of the conference will be devoted to
philosophical aspects of variability of the physical constants and the
frontiers of physics and cosmology. There will also be a poster session if
the number of abstracts is above our talk time capabilities. The oral
presentations will be selected by the sessions conveners in collaboration
with the Organizing Committee.
Invited speakers:
Brett Altschul, University of South Carolina, USA (TBC)
John D. Barrow, Univ. Cambridge, UK
Julian Berengut, University of New South Wales, Australia
Brandon Carter, LuTh, Observatoire de Paris-Meudon, Paris
Paul C.W. Davies, Arizona State Univ., USA
Michael Duff, Imperial College, London, UK
Victor Flambaum, University of New South Wales, Australia
Michael Heller, Vatican Astronomical Observatory
Sabine Hossenfelder, Stockholm University, Sweden (TBC)
Joao Magueijo, Imperial College, London, UK
Carlos J.A.P. Martins, Univ. Porto, Portugal
John Moffat, Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Canada
Wim Ubachs, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thomas Udem, Max-Planck Institut fuer Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany
Jean-Philippe Uzan, IAP, Paris, France
Gabriele Veneziano, College de France (TBC)
John Webb, Univ. New South Wales, Australia
Topics - parallel sessions: I. Varying constants - theory; II. Varying
constants - laboratory experiments; III. Varying constants - astronomical
observations; IV. Quantum gravity and cosmology; V. Many-world
interpretation. Quantum entanglement; VI. Superstring landscape.
Multiverse; VII. Modifications of gravity; VIII. Dark matter - theory; IX.
Dark matter - experiment; X. Dark energy - theory; XI. Dark energy -
observations; XII. Inflation and large-scale structure; XIII. Early
universe; XIV. Gravitational waves; XV. Cosmic microwave background; XVI.
Future challenges and experiments.
Looking forward to seeing you in Szczecin.
With compliments,
