Special lectures will be devoted to primordial and astrophysical black holes and high energy astrophysics. In addition, each Course of this series, introduces and promotes through special sessions,topics or subjects, which, although not being of purely astrophysical or cosmological nature, are of relevant physical interest for astrophysics and cosmology. Deep understanding, clarification, synthesis, careful interdisciplinarity within a fundamental physics approach, are goals of this series. Participants will have an excellent opportunity to learn about the real state of the discipline, and to learn it in a critical way. Lectures cover from a motivation and pedagogical introduction for students and participants not directly working in the field to the last developments and recent results.
All Lectures are plenary, have the same duration and are followed by a discussion.
The discussion part is as important as the lectures themselves. The Course will provide an occasion to review achievements, to confront theory and models with observations, to exchange information on the latest developments and to discuss future prospects. Paris VI Tour 16, 1er. Young persons with only a few years of experience should enclose a letter of recommendation from their research group leader or from another senior scientist active in the field.
