Hi everyone,

This programme of our first get-together should help others
know about who is interested in what (at least for starters!).

Final programme:
>    * From: Andrzej Marecki <amr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
>    * Subject: Updated programme!
>    * Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 14:53:31 +0100 (MET)
>    * Organization: N. Copernicus University, Torun, Poland
 
> == Cosmo-Torun Mini-Workshop 14:00, Wed 23 Jan 2002 TCfA ==
> 
> Welcome to the Cosmo-Torun Mini-Workshop. This is intended to help us
> start to learn about each others' interests in cosmology and how we
> can carry out research together. Please feel free to invite anyone
> likely to be interested, and help them to access the page containing
> this document! Background reading of http links is not compulsory but
> would obviously help.

> The mini-workshop went well, IMHO. Starting from the general relativity
> basics of what scalar fields and quintessence are (Michał F), going
> through Toruń's big observational project which could in principle lead
> to direct measurement of local cosmological parameters like curvature,
> but maybe also quintessence and the details of perturbation statistics
> (Sebastian) and then an introduction to curvature and topology (Rafał),
> we got back to the galaxy scale with Michał H on how magnetic fields
> evolve within galaxies and how this should be related to star formation,
> with a nice flow diagram showing all the links and some nice videos of
> simulations, and then observational work on topology (Andrzej M) and
> on the curvature parameters (me). A lot to absorb in one afternoon.
> We even had several non-speaking participants! So, hopefully this will
> start everyone thinking about what each other is interested in and
> how we can have useful, productive conversations with each other.
