Research @ KICP
|
Conferences, Workshops, and Visitors Overview The KICP is situated within a national and international effort aimed at addressing forefront problems in cosmology and particle physics. The Conferences, Workshops and Visitors (CWV) MA connects our efforts to those of the larger community and in the process enhance both. Specifically, the twin goals of the CWV MA are to help facilitate the cosmological research of students, postdocs, and faculty at other institutions with the broad spectrum of activities made possible by our Center and to engage experts around the country in furthering the Center's science goals. Locally, we host a colloquium speaker twice a month and a weekly series of more informal Friday lunch seminars, with both internal and external speakers. The Friday lunch seminar is organized by our Fellows. In addition, there are informal activities, including a weekly journal club (Thunch), periodic open group meetings and seminars, and three Postdoc Symposia per year. The Postdoc Symposium is a half-day series of informal talks, open to the larger KICP community, organized and given by the Fellows and Associate Fellows and used as a forum for them to present and discuss their current and future projects. The Conferences, Workshops and Visitors MA's goals The Conferences, Workshops and Visitors MA seeks to:
In these activities, the KICP strives to be a national center for cosmology, to the benefit of both the broader community and the science. We work proactively to engage and involve the U.S. cosmology community in these efforts. Activities at the Center are broadcast to the community through a variety of avenues, including this website. |
