Venue

Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden

Scope

The purpose of this winter school is to provide late PHD students and young postdocs with introductory and advanced courses in a range of the most important topics in the field of Theoretical Cosmology. Furthermore, the school will provide a way to bring together students and young postdocs across different fields, research institutions and countries.

Format

There will be three one-and-a-half-hour lectures per day, two in the morning and one after lunch. Late in the afternoon there will be time for work on problems, discussion sessions or short talks.

The first week of the school will cover mostly basic topics in Theoretical Cosmology, while the second week of the school will cover contemporary research topics.
