Summer School on Large-Scale Structure

The field of large-scale structure (LSS) is rapidly evolving, and becoming increasingly technical and specialized. At the same time, there is high demand for a new generation of cosmologists to develop model predictions and exploit the upcoming data sets from galaxy surveys. This school aims to provide a focused, in-depth training for this purpose.

The school is open to all interested attendees. However, preference will be given to PhD students and young postdocs.

July 23-27, 2018 at the Harnack-Haus, Berlin

The Harnack-Haus is situated in the green Berlin neighborhood of Dahlem, right next to the campus of the Freie Universität.
