1. Document de prospective INSU Astronomie-Astrophysique 2020-2025
Le rapport de prospective INSU Astronomie-Astrophysique 2020-2025 est désormais en ligne sur le site de l’INSU à l’adresse :

https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/sites/institut_insu/files/news/2021-04/Prospective_INSU_AA_2019.pdf

Un grand merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué à ce travail important pour définir la feuille de route de notre domaine.
Je profite de ce message pour vous rappeler la consultation en cours dans le cadre de la prospective européenne Astronet que j’ai annoncée dans la lettre d’information de la SF2A No 928 du 15/03/21: une première version des rapports a été publiée début mars 2021 sur le site https://www.astronet-eu.org/ maintenu par l’INSU et vous avez la possibilité de faire part de vos retours jusqu’au 1er mai 2021 sous la forme de réponses à des questionnaires et en participant à des forums de discussion.

2. Semaine de l’astrophysique française 2021 (7-11 June 2021)
La semaine de la SF2A se tiendra du 7 au 11 juin 2021 en ligne sur le site CarbonFreeConf. Les matinées seront consacrées aux séances plénières (i.e. revues scientifiques, exposés de prospective, assemblée générale, …) et les après-midi aux ateliers organisés par la communauté avec le concours des divers Programmes Nationaux et Actions Spécifiques du CNRS/INSU.

3. Session on gravitational waves and astroparticles at European Physical Society (Online conference, July 26-30, 2021)

This year European Physical Society conference on high energy physics includes a session on gravitational waves and astroparticles. Please consider submitting an abstract.
Here is the website of the conference: https://www.eps-hep2021.eu

The deadline for abstract submission is May 7th.

4. Initiative for Dark Matter in Europe and beyond (iDMEu) kick-off meeting (10-12 mai 2021)

iDMEu is a recently-created initiative supported by ECFA/APPEC/NuPECC (JENAA) that aims to create a ‘public place’ where researchers working on the Dark Matter problem from very different communities can talk to each other and identify cross-fertilization opportunities for mutual benefits.

The scope of the initiative is very broad: particle theorists, particle experimentalists, cosmologists and astrophysicists from different sub-communities and different backgrounds will be invited to participate. We do not want to replace existing community efforts but instead help them connect, broaden their view and increase their visibility by other communities.

This is the first kick-off meeting where the different communities meet virtually, get exposed to each other’s work, challenges and needs, and begin cross-talk discussions and activities.

Please register if you’d like to attend and be able to access the Zoom information on Indico. https://indico.cern.ch/event/1016060/

5. Sixteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity (5-9 July 2021, virtual)

We are happy to announce that at the Sixteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity (MG16) ( https://indico.icranet.org/event/1/) there is going to be a parallel session dedicated to “Cosmography with Gravitational Lensing” (https://indico.icranet.org/event/1/program) and we encourage you to submit an abstract.

The MG16 will take place virtually from Monday July 5 through Friday July 9, 2021.

The timeline is:

  • March 15, 2021: registration opening

Each day of the meeting there will be three program blocks of three hours each: one plenary session and two parallel sessions in revolving order to address the three major continental time zones:
Central European Summer Time:
Block 1: 6:30-9:30
Block 2: 9:30-12:30
Block 3: 16:30-19:30

6. XIV Tonale Winter School On Coslomogy: theory for observers & observations for theorists (5 – 10 December 2021, Passo del Tonale, Italy)

https://indico.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/event/297/

The school is aimed mainly at PhD/early postdocs in Cosmology. It will cover both theoretical and observational aspects of modern cosmology.
The lecture series will be delivered by

  • Marco Baldi (U Bologna), Cosmological Simulations
  • Juan Garcia-Bellido (UA Madrid), Testing fundamental physics with gravitational waves
  • Emille Ishida (Université Clermont Auvergne), Statistics in Cosmology
  • Laura Wolz (U Manchester), Cosmology with the SKA

Registration is OPEN: https://indico.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/event/297/registrations/

Given the large number of applications we strongly suggest registering as soon as possible. Note that we will accept a maximum of 40 participants. Partial financial support is available for applicants from lower-income countries that register earlier than 1st September.

For any further questions please email winterschool@thphys.uni-heidelberg.de
