The Tufts Institute of Cosmology is celebrating its 20th
anniversary this year. As part of this celebration, we are organizing a
four day conference entitled, "CHALLENGES IN THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY". Our
intent is to bring together the leading researchers in theoretical cosmology to
discuss some of the most pressing open issues in the field today. The topics
that we are focusing on include:
-
COSMIC STRINGS
-
ETERNAL INFLATION
-
THE LANDSCAPE
The conference will take place at the Tufts European Center at Talloires
(France) between September 2nd and September 5th, (2009). The format will
include 30 invited speakers and a total of about 90 attendees, some of whom will
give contributed talks. The Tufts European Center at Talloires is a magnificent
venue at which to host our conference. It is located on the shores of Lake
Annecy at the foot of the French Alps and offers a perfect atmosphere that, we
hope, will make this conference not only a successful and enjoyable meeting but
a memorable one as well.
