UK Cosmo at Portsmouth
April 5th 2017
Information
The purpose of this meeting is to exchange ideas in theoretical cosmology and related areas. We welcome contributions for talks from PhD students and postdocs as well as more experienced researchers. The premises allow for both whiteboard and slides talks. In case we cannot accommodate all contributors, priority will be given to people who did not talk in the last UK Cosmo meetings.
We will have two invited speakers, Dr Claudia de Rham (Imperial) and Prof Kathy Romer (Sussex), who will present latest developments in theoretical and observational cosmology.
Submissions of contributions for talks are welcomed until the 19th of March, and a program will be made available on this webpage soon after.
If you intend to come to this event, you are kindly asked to register below, where you will also have the option to submit a talk. There is no registration fee, and financial support for travel is available provided it is preauthorised by the chair of UK Cosmology (for preauthorisation of travel funds please email Tony Padilla – Antonio.Padilla@nottingham.ac.uk – with an estimate of your travels costs, we ask that you look for the lowest suitable fares). Reimbursement can be obtained after the event as per the instructions here.
