"Space Time and Gravitation"
The workshop "Space Time and Gravitation" will be held at EPFL (Lausanne) on April 7, 2006. The workshop, organised by the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP), is the follow-up of the Workshop on Astro-particle Physics which was held in Versoix on May 2-3, 2005.
The main aim of these meetings is to bring together Swiss particle physicists and scientists working in astro-particle physics, cosmology and related fields of fundamental research, with the hope of fostering new collaborations and exchanges among these fields.
The main topics that will be covered in this workshop are:
• gravitational waves , with a review of the main experimental projects
• cosmology and tests of general relativity
Attendance to the workshop is free, but we would greatly appreciate if participants could register via this web page in order to facilitate the organisation.
For questions and comments, please contact Stefano Villa.
The 134th CERN council has
decided to prepare a European strategy for particle physics. Members
of the strategy group are members of the SPC of CERN, members of
the council and directors of the major European Labs. From Switzerland
these are A. Blondel (SPC), A. Clark (chair of CHIPP),
R. Eichler (director PSI).
A first important step of the Strategy Group
process is an open Symposium to be held in Paris (Orsay) from 30
January to 1st February 2006. This is open to all members of the
community and in particular young members.
