2. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023
Application deadline is September 13, 2023.
MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality.
The scheme also encourages researchers to work on research and innovation projects in the non-academic sector and is open to researchers wishing to reintegrate in Europe, to those who are displaced by conflict, as well as to researchers with high potential who are seeking to restart their careers in research.
Fellowships will be provided to excellent researchers, undertaking international mobility either to or between EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries, as well as to non-associated Third Countries. Applications will be made jointly by the researcher and a beneficiary in the academic or non-academic sector.
Postdoctoral Fellowships either can take place in Europe (i.e. in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country) or in a Third Country not associated to Horizon Europe:
- European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality who wish to engage in R&I projects by either coming to Europe from any country in the world or moving within Europe. The standard duration of these fellowships must be between 12 and 24 months.
- Global Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to European nationals or long-term residents who wish to engage in R&I projects with organisations outside EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries. These fellowships require an outgoing phase of minimum 12 and maximum 24 months in a non-associated Third Country, and a mandatory 12-month return phase to a host organisation based in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country.
Specific eligibility conditions apply to MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships in the research areas covered by the Euratom Research and Training Programme 2021-2025.

3. Atelier SKA – Cosmologie, Grandes Structures et Galaxies (Observatoire de Paris, 23 & 24 Novembre 2023)
Le futur grand observatoire radio SKA ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour la cosmologie, l’étude des grandes structures de l’Univers et la formation des galaxies, par exemple pour :
– l’étude de l’aube cosmique et la réionisation en tomographie 21cm,
– les corrélations du signal radio avec les relevés de galaxies, les anisotropies du fond diffus cosmologique ou infrarouge, les relevés en bande étroite (CII),
– le magnétisme cosmique,
– les propriétés du milieu intergalactique via par exemple l’étude des absorbants 21cm,
– les champs de vitesses des galaxies HI à grande échelle pour la reconstruction de la distribution de matière sous-jacente,
– les grands relevés en bande étroite à 21cm à z~2-3.
Par ailleurs, ces études requièrent d’une manière ou d’une autre l’utilisation conjointe des futures données SKA avec celles qui seront fournies par d’autres grands instruments ou relevés : EUCLID, LSST, CONCERTO, Planck, 4MOST, JWST, ELT… Elles nécessitent également la mise en place de nouvelles méthodes, en simulation numérique, en modélisation, dans l’utilisation de nouvelles techniques en sciences de données ou dans le traitement massif de grands catalogues.
Sur deux journées (23 et 24 Novembre 2023) à l’Observatoire de Paris, nous visons à proposer aux communautés françaises concernées, et en particulier nos jeunes collègues, un espace de présentation de leurs derniers travaux réalisés en préparation de SKA. Ce sera également l’occasion pour les scientifiques de ces thématiques de discuter et découvrir les synergies ou opportunités qui seront offertes par le futur grand instrument. Un site dédié sera mis en ligne à la rentrée 2023 avec un premier programme, un appel à contribution et les détails pratiques de l’atelier.

4. workshop Cesam2k20 (7-8 December 2023, Observatoire de Meudon)
The first public version of the numerical code of internal structure and stellar evolution Cesam2k20 (formerly known as CESTAM or Cesam2k) will be made available to the community this year.
In order to build up a community of users, we are organising a workshop on 7-8 December 2023 at the Observatoire de Meudon in the Centre de Conférences Jules Janssen for 30 people.The conference website is now open: https://cesam2k20workshop.sciencesconf.org/.
On the first day, the morning will be dedicated to the presentation of the code and the afternoon to its installation, calculation and calibration of a standard model of the Sun. On the morning of the second day, a case study for the calculation of a non-standard model (including for example rotation or atomic diffusion with radiative accelerations) will be proposed to participants. Parallel sessions will be organised in the afternoon to learn, for example, how to calculate a grid of stellar models or to learn how to use the AIMS and SPInS model optimisation codes (which can be used with the model grids generated by Cesam2k20).
This workshop is aimed at all communities that rely on the use of stellar models (stellar physics, exoplanets, disks, galaxy evolution, etc.).
For people coming from far away or whose laboratory cannot finance the full cost of the mission, we can provide financial support. A reasoned request must be provided at the time of registration. The SOC will be particularly careful to take into account the different biases in the awarding of grants.
We hope to see many of you there!
Pre-registration is open from 22 June 2023 to 31 August 2023 (midnight).
You can pre-register by giving your info here: https://tinyurl.com/3cb3t8u3
The deadline for applications for funding is 6 October 2023 (midnight).
Registration is open from 1 September 2023 to 12 October 2023 (midnight).
The number of places is limited to 30 people, so we invite you to register as soon as possible.

5. Cosmology 2023 in Miramare ( 28 aug – 2 sept 2023, Trieste, Italy)
Cosmology offers today one of the most important frontiers of physics. The mystery of dark matter and the puzzle of dark energy are still outstanding. On the observational side, there is an exponential growth of accurate and important data, which will help in establishing the new needed theories.
In this conference we plan to bring together researchers from the observational, computer simulation and theoretical sides working in cosmology, astrophysics and astroparticle physics, to discuss the current situation as well as prospects for the future improvements.
All the topics will be discussed from different angles starting from the booming flow of observational data. The topics to be discussed will include:
- The current Cosmological Model and its Tensions (Theory and observations)
- Dark Matter (Theory, Observations, Detection, Production)
- The Evolving Universe (Reionization, first galaxies and their SMBH, Quasars and AGN, the assembly of cosmological structures)
- Probes of the Universe from (new incoming) measurements of the CMB and of its Large Scale structure.
- Multimessenger cosmology (Gravitational waves, Cosmic Gamma and X-rays, Neutrinos)
- Black holes in the Universe over 10 orders of magnitude in mass
- Astrophysical aspects of Cosmology.
A number of invited talks from leading scientists as well as many contributed ones from participants will be presented.
The conference will take place in presence in the Miramare campus, in a conductive atmosphere, appropriate for the dramatic paradigm shift that we may be witnessing in these days.
The conference will begin on the morning of Monday and end before lunch on Saturday.
The conference fee is 200€, both for contributing speakers and attendees. There is still the possibility to attend remotely, with a fee of 30€. In the registration form the applicants must provide the requested information, in order to receive the payment instructions.
Support for accommodation of contributing speakers will be available for a limited number of cases.
Peer-reviewed proceedings are being organized.
