Special lectures are devoted to neutrinos in astrophysics and high energy astrophysics. In addition, each Course of this series, introduces and promotes 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 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.
This inspired Virgil to describe the arrival of the Trojan royal family in Erice and the burial of Anchise, by his son Enea, on the coast below Erice. Erice is at present a mixture of ancient and medieval architecture. A letter will be sent to successful applicants by September, 30th 1999. Participants experiencing difficulties with travel documentation and who need to know, before September, 30th, whether or not their applications have been accepted may get an earlier special decision upon request. Admission to the Course will be decided on the basis of scientific excellency, in consultation with the Advisory Committee of the Course consisting of Professors G.F.R. Ellis, I. Novikov, N. Sanchez, G. Smoot and A. Zichichi.
