First circular of YKIS2010 Symposium on `Cosmology –The Next Generation–‘
Agenda for YKIS2010
The basic concept of the workshop as well as the symposium is to develop concrete foundations for further expansion of the frontiers of gravity and cosmology. With the increase of precise observational data and of our knowledge about the universe, various new aspects of cosmology have been added. Rapidly expanding frontiers of cosmology make it difficult particularly for young generation to capture the concrete foundations and to take a step further.
At YKIS2010 Symposium, we would like to survey various ideas in gravity and cosmology which have some relevance to the current and future observations, and re-examine them to be able to announce a clear message to the next generation.
