Durham/Edinburgh Extragalactic Workshop - I
The First Galaxies and AGN 6-7/12/01, Durham
Edinburgh/Durham Extragalactic Workshop - II
Clusters and Clustering 17-18/6/02, Edinburgh
Durham/Edinburgh Extragalactic Workshop - III
Exploiting New Instrumentation ZZ-ZZ/12/02, Durham
The workshop will start at 11:30 on Thursday 6th December (in time
for people to arrive from Edinburgh on the 09:00 train) and will end
over lunch on Friday 7th December. Accomodation for participants is
being organised at the moment and an email will be sent out when this
is finalised. Participants will be housed in the Collingwood College,
Farnley Tower (The Avenue) and the Georgian Town House (Crossgate).
The workshop will be held in the AP7 lecture theatre in the
Physics building - a map of the city and university can be
found on this page.
Each talk slot is 25 minutes - approximately 20 minutes
for the talk with 5 minutes for questions. Viewgraphs and
Powerpoint will both be supported.

The Durham-Edinburgh Extragalactic (DEX) Workshops will provide an opportunity for the discussion of current research at Durham and IfA/ATC and it is hoped they will lead to an increase in the research links between the various institutions. We intend that the workshops will be held every 6-12 months-or-so, alternating the venues between Durham and Edinburgh. We are expecting that they will provide a forum to provoke lively, informal (and undoubtedly forthright) discussion, and for this reason attendence will be limited to about ~25 people (with around 15 speakers), with an emphasis on graduate students and active researchers. There will be no proceedings.
The title of the first workshop (to be held in Durham on 6-7/12/01) is: "The First Galaxies and AGN" - this will be interpreted broadly - but the focus will be on observational (and theoretical) studies of galaxies and AGN at z>1.
Please note - Ian Smail will be out of contact until ~5/12. Questions should be directed to either Omar Almaini or Simon Morris.
