The Conference Picture


PURPOSE
We brought together about 200 Astrophysical Cosmologists working on different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, Numerical Cosmologists as well as theorists, and discussed recent results, techniques and prospects of the high-redshift Universe. The data flow from important space missions (Chandra, XMM, MAP), from ground and baloon facilities (SCUBA, BLAST etc) and the completion of the two huge galaxy surveys (the SDSS and the 2dF) and their analysis were discussed during the meeting. The multiwavelength data from the numerous satellites, ballon experiments and ground facilities can be combined in imaginative ways to provide strong Cosmological constraints and to trace the structure formation history in the Universe.
VENUE
The workshop was held in Mykonos Island which is the most cosmopolitan island in the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea. The island is served by its own airport with many daily connections to Athens and other cities in Europe.History & Culture, Mykonos Beaches, Diving in Mykonos
TOPICS
  • The High-z Universe (Surveys of galaxies & QSO's)
  • Clusters of Galaxies (Evolution)
  • The Intergalactic Medium and Star-formation history
  • The CMB and other Cosmological backgrounds (Constraints on Structure Evolution)
