Claudia Maraston of the ICG is part of the Scientific Organising Committee of a Symposium of the International Astronomical Union that was successfully selected. The Symposium entitled “Galaxy Masses as Constraints of Formation Models” will be held in Oxford in July 2014 (http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/iau311/). It will be the occasion to celebrate the career of Roger Davies, Chairman of Physics at Oxford. The conference follows the successful 2009 meeting at Queen’s University devoted to celebrate Vera Rubin, who discovered Dark Matter in galaxies.
