IAU Symposium 308: The Zeldovich Universe:  Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web

We are happy to announce IAU Symposium 308 "The Zel'dovich' Universe:
Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web", which will be held in Tallinn,
Estonia, from June 23-28, 2014.

2014  is the  centenary  year  of the  birth  of  Yakov Zel'dovich.  IAU
symposium  308 pays  tribute  to his  outstanding  contributions to  the
understanding of the large scale  matter distribution in the Universe by
devoting  its  attention   on  the  Cosmic  Web   and  cosmic  structure
formation. The symposium will synthesize the large advances and insights
obtained from  many different observational and  theoretical studies and
set out the  lines for the major upcoming scientific  programs that will
not  only extend  our view  over a  far larger  fraction of  the visible
Universe but also allow the systematic investigation of the evolution of
cosmic structure.

Topics that will be addressed are:
- Large Scale Galaxy Surveys
- Simulations of Large Scale Structure formation
- Structural Analysis of the Cosmic Web
- Large Scale Structure at high redshift
- the Zel'dovich Legacy: theory & dynamics
- Gravitational Lensing and the Cosmic Web
- Voids
- the Local Universe (reconstruction, dynamics and velocity flows)
- Dynamical Analysis of the Cosmic Web
- the Gaseous Cosmic Web (Lyman alpha forest, WHIM, ...)
- Cosmic Web as environment for galaxy formation
- Galaxies in the Cosmic Web
- Dark Ages -- Reionization
- Primordial Signature of the Cosmic Web (BAOs, primordial non-Gaussianities, 
non-standard Gravity)
- Future Surveys
- Cosmology of Yakov Zel'dovich: historical and scientific perspective

Registration, abstract submission and  application for financial support
are now possible.
