Excellence Cluster Universe hosts its fourth Science Week

From Monday 11 October until Thursday 14 October 2010 the Excellence Cluster Universe hosts its forth Science Week. The event will take place at the lecture hall of the Max Planck Institute for plasma physics (IPP).
This annual meeting aims to support the scientific exchange between the different communities of the Cluster. Several topical talks, for example on Cosmic Microwave Background, Dark Energy and Dark Matter, String Theory or Neutrino Physics will summarize the research focuses of the Cluster. Concluding the event, each Research Area will give an overview on their specific research projects. Furthermore, the winners of this year’s PhD award, Dr. Jens Jasche (theory) and Dr. Thomas Krühler (experiment) will introduce their PhD theses.
Other subjects of the Science Week include a reception with poster session on the first evening of this conference. On the last day, a general meeting for all Cluster members will take place. During this meeting the Cluster coordinators will give insight into the current status of the Cluster.
Additionally, on Tuesday, 12 October, there will be a public talk by Prof. Simon White, director of the Max Planck Institute for astrophysics. Title and venue will be announced.
