Talks by cosmologists will highlight outstanding problems regarding inflationary cosmology, dark matter, missing energy, baryogenesis, ultra-high energy cosmic rays, and cosmic defects, along with a prospectus on forthcoming developments in observation. The second week will be a Workshop of more specialized talks with extensive time for small-group interaction and informal discussion with the aim of initiating new research and collaborations. Applicants should contact the organizers if they wish to make a presentation at the Workshop.

It is intended for nationals of EC Member States and of Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Israel, who must all be under 35 years of age.
Limited funds exist for other participants.
