Dans le cadre des projets de la 2eme decenie d'XMM, un atelier international se tiendra a Paris du 14 au 16 avril 2008. Le but de cette rencontre est d'examiner les arguments scientifiques et la faisabilite d'un survey de ~ 100 deg2 avec XMM. Une large place sera aussi faite a l'etude de surveys associes en optique, SZ, IR, UV et radio. - les propositions de contributions sont attendues pour le 15 janvier 2008 -

2nd decade of XMM - workshop 14-16 April 2008 - Is a 200 sq.deg. survey with XMM feasible and scientifically worth it? - association with optical, SZ, IR, UV, radio surveys - deadline for contributions 15 Jan 2008

The next Rencontres de Moriond meeting devoted to Cosmology will be organized in La Thuile (Valle d'Aosta, Italy), March 15-22, 2008.

Registration is open on http://moriond.in2p3.fr/J08/ where more details can be found (including abstract submission)

The main topics covered in the conference will be :

A. Dark Energy + Cosmological probes (Reviews, experimental results and/or new projects) Type Ia Supernovae Weak Lensing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations Galaxy Clusters: Deep Surveys Future Projects + Dark Energy Models and the Cosmological Constant

B. Dark Matter + Dark matter in galaxies and clusters of galaxies + Gravitational lensing and dark matter + Lyalpha forest + Dark Matter: direct searches + Dark Matter indirect detection with galactic gamma rays

C. Structure Formation: prediction of simulations + Evolution of baryonic structures in large cosmological simulations and confrontation with observations + Cluster simulations: Estimation of uncertainties in Dark Energy projects

D. CMB + Present observations + Combining CMB with other cosmological probes + Polarization + Foregrounds + R&D

E. Theoretical Perspectives + Dark Energy models + Modified gravity and alternatives (MOND) + Inflationary Model and alternatives + Brane Cosmology + Back reaction + Beyond the Standard Model: Dark Matter candidates
