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.
