Unofficially known as “Cosmology on the Beach”, this meeting is a combination of a winter school and a workshop, which will consist of morning lectures given by eminent scholars, and late afternoons of plenary and contributed talks, highlighting recent developments in cosmology. It will follow the same tradition and format as previous Essential Cosmology for Next Generation workshops, that were organized jointly by Berkeley Center for Cosmology and the Instituto Avanzado de Cosmologia of Mexico.

In this occasion the principal sponsors of the workshop are Carnegie Mellon University and the Instituto Avanzado de Cosmologia of Mexico.

VENUE and DATES
It will be held from January 10th to 16th, 2016 at Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal, an all inclusive resort near Cancun, Mexico.

A range of topics in cosmology will be covered at the conference by eminent scholars in the field, with elements of both a winter school and the latest research results. Students and postdocs will present posters and give short talks. We hope that the beauty of the natural and cultural environment will act as a catalyst for young researchers to interact and generate new ideas. We encourage a diverse group of advanced graduate students, postdocs, and researchers interested in attending to look for the Participant Application available around August.

This is the 4th annual “Cosmology on the Beach” meeting, combining a winter school with the latest research results. Course lectures blend with recent research advances in plenary talks, and student/postdoc participation. We encourage a diverse group of advanced graduate students and postdocs interested in attending to apply; established researchers enthusiastic about interacting are also welcome.
