Particle Physics and Cosmology will emphasize the increasing interplay between high energy accelerator based physics and cosmology. The conference will consist of plenary sessions for invited in depth oral presentations (review talks and talks on specific specialised topics), and contributed papers, in the form of relatively short oral papers or posters. We will aim to achieve a balance between review talks, provocative talks given by recognized specialists, and shorter contributions, special emphasis being placed on active participation by younger researchers and post-docs. Parallel sessions are foreseen, and are being organised as the need arises. This will be the 24th meeting in this series of annual international multidisciplinary meetings, created in 1989 by Jean Tran Thân Van and which has in the past covered many topics in physics, astronomy and biology. All sessions take place in the Château of Blois, a beautiful renaissance castle which has housed many French kings, and notably François 1st. Meals are served in the castle to all participants, in order to encourage interaction between scientists at all levels. Participation is limited to about 150 persons. The web site for this year's meeting is at this URL : http://confs.obspm.fr/Blois2012/index.htm The meeting will be articulated around the results and their impact on current theories from the three major new experimental and observational facilities which have recently been commissioned and are producing new and exciting results: - CERN's LHC - the PLANCK satellite - the HERSCHEL satellite Topics will include: - the Standard Model in particle physics, in new data and analyses - the search for the Higgs boson - theories of and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model - heavy flavour physics - neutrino physics (astrophysical and laboratory) - dark matter, dark energy and recent advances in cosmology. The detailed scientific programme is currently under development; if you urgently need information which is currently not available on this site, you may contact Boaz Klima, at the email address: klima(a)fnal.gov The conference site (http://confs.obspm.fr/Blois2012/index.htm) will be updated regularly, as new information becomes available.

The first meeting was initiated by Prof. Yong Min Cho, one of the founders of the APCTP at SNU in 1993. This conference is organized in Vietnam with the help of "Les Rencontres du Vietnam"(*), whose aim is to promote scientific education and research in Vietnam. The ICGAC10 program will consist of oral presentations in plenary and parallel sessions, with review talks on specific topics given by leading researchers. Debates on controversial issues will be programmed during the conference. Poster contributions are welcome, and will be posted up during the entire week. Topics include: - Experimental studies of gravity - Quantum gravity - Gravitational waves - Black holes, Wormholes - Strings, Branes and Extra dimensions - Numerical Relativity - Cosmology, Dark matter, Dark energy - Relativistic Astrophysics - Astroparticle Physics, Cosmic rays - Astronomical and space-research instrumentation More details can be found on the conference website: http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~cosmo/ICGAC10/ICGAC10.html (*) The "Rencontres du Vietnam" association have organized at infrequent intervals during the last 10 years meetings in Vietnam on various scientific topics, ranging from particle physics to biology and astrophysics. These meetings take the form of high profile international conferences, and have in the past brought together some of the world's leading specialists on the subjects treated. Transmis par Ludwik Celnikier --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. 9th COSPAR Scientific Assembly: "Multi-wavelength Studies of Compact Objects with Focus on ASTROSAT", 14-22 July, 2012, Mysore, India --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first announcement for an event (E1.3) of the 39th COSPAR Scientific Assembly to be held in Mysore, India during 14-22 July, 2012. Abstract submission period: 19 August 2011 to 10 February 2012. X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei provide us a unique opportunity to explore the properties of matter in extreme conditions and test fundamental physical theories in extreme environments. These objects emit across the wavelengths, and hence multi-wavelength studies of them will be useful to probe, among other things, high-density degenerate matter, theories of gravitation in the strong field regime and the inflow-outflow (disk-jet-wind) mechanism. The Indian astronomy satellite ASTROSAT will perform simultaneous observations from optical to hard X-ray, monitor the sky for X-ray transient activities, and detect and study the rapid variability of these sources. This session aims to include the new theoretical and observational results, as well as reviews, related to accreting neutron stars and black holes (stellar-mass and super-massive) at wavelengths relevant to ASTROSAT, and complementary studies in other wavelengths. The session will also include presentations on the effective ways to use ASTROSAT, including joint observations with other space-based and ground instruments. Duration: 3 half-days Website: http://www.cospar-assembly.org/ Invited speakers: To be announced soon. The precise dates of the event will be announced as soon as they are fixed.

VIIIth Marseille International Cosmology Conference, "The Cosmic Odyssey of baryons: accreting, outflowing and hiding" June 20-24, Marseille, France More than a decade of deep spectroscopic surveys of galaxies, absorption line studies in quasar spectra and intensive numerical simulations have placed the interactions between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM) at the center of our understanding of the formation and growth of galaxies. The IGM appears as the dominant reservoir of baryons at all epochs, provides fuel for star formation in galaxies and, in turn, is transformed by radiation, metal production and mechanical energy released through galaxy evolution. The conference aims at reviewing and studying this co-evolution of galaxies and the IGM, from the completion of reionization to the present epoch. A large place will be given to numerical simulations as providing the crucial link between the baryonic processes involved and the evolution observed. The main topics that will be addressed are: - the missing baryons problem and the development of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM), - the observational signatures of gas infall and outflows, and related phenomena observed at large scales (neutral hydrogen evolution, metallicity variations, etc), - the environment directly surrounding galaxies, the so-called circumgalactic medium (CGM). More detailed information on the conference (SOC, invited speakers, sessions) is available on the conference web site at: http://www.oamp.fr/mrs2011/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. 2011 "Frontiers of Physics in Cosmology," This is a reminder that the application deadline for this summer school, which is to take place at IAS from July 18-29, is February 28.

Foreground conference (FGC2011) - "Understanding Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds: A road to success for cosmological experiments", 23 - 27 May 2011, in Zadar, Croatia --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, there are several cosmological experiments (planned and ongoing) that use low frequency radiation to study the structure, the evolution, and the origin of our Universe. Among those are cosmic microwave background radiation experiments (e.g. Planck satellite) and the redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen from the epoch of reionization (e.g. LOFAR, GMRT, MWA & SKA). In addition to the main scientific goals of each experiment, they all have one more thing in common: prominent Galactic and extragalactic foreground emission that challenges the observations. Therefore, the success of these cosmological observations relies on our understanding of the foregrounds and development of good foreground removal techniques. Obviously, studying the physical origin of these foregrounds, whether Galactic or extra-galactic, constitute a very interesting and exciting field in its own right. The aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists interested in three main topics: - Physics and astrophysics of the low frequency Galactic and extra-galactic foregrounds; - influence of these foregrounds on the CMB and EoR observations; - foreground removal techniques. During the meeting the observational constraints of the Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds will be reviewed both in total and polarized intensity. We will discuss the physics of the foregrounds and their properties (e.g. Galactic magnetic field, ISM, Faraday rotation, cosmic ray distribution, disk-halo connections and source counts). Finally, we will discuss mathematical techniques to fit and remove spatial and spectral foreground structures. Registration is open now.
