Kick-off meeting UNDARK

8 Oct 2024, 09:00 → 11 Oct 2024, 15:30 Europe/London

AULA (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias)

Jorge Martin Camalich (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias)

This is the kick-off meeting  of the UNDARK consortium:

https://research.iac.es/proyecto/undark

This will be a presencial meeting to be held at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) from October 8th till October 11th, 2024, with the possibility of following it via zoom. The meeting will serve as a first encounter between the members of the IAC that participate in the consortium and those from the teams sent from the partners:  CERN, LAPTh, IFAE and WIS. 

The goal is to trigger discussions and potential collaborations between IAC astronomers and theorists from the partners at the very earliest stage of the consortium. 

Accommodation options in La Laguna: Hotel Boutique San Diego, La Laguna Gran Hotel, Hotel Nivaria or Airbnb.
