1. Summer School: “6th Summer School – Galaxy Formation and Evolution in a Cosmological Context”, 30 August – 5 September, Island of Spetses, Greece
—————————————————————————————-
We are pleased to announce the 6th Summer School “Galaxy Formation and Evolution in a Cosmological Context”, which will take place on the Greek island of Spetses on 30th August — 5th September 2026:
This school has a similar format to the one organised in 2024 and is targeted to students that are at the beginning of their PhD work or about to start a PhD in galaxy formation and evolution.
The topics covered by the school are:
- Models of galaxy formation in a cosmological context (Andrea Cattaneo, Observatoire de Paris)
- The formation of galaxies in cosmological simulations (Julien Devriendt/Adrianne Slyz, University of Oxford)
- Galaxy formation and evolution in deep surveys (Sandro Tacchella, University of Cambridge)
- Galaxy formation and evolution: the role of the environment (Benedetta Vulcani, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova)
- The first stars and cosmic reionisation (Andrea Ferrara, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa)
- Galactic chemical evolution (Nicolas Prantzos, Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris)
The programme is already online and the registration deadline is 10th April 2026.
We kindly ask you to diffuse this announcement within your institution and/or to forward it to any students who may be interested in the school.

2. Workshop: “Towards ALMA2040”, 26-27 March, 2026, IAP, Paris, France
—————————————————————————————-
Deadline for registration (free): March 3, 2026
Following the announcement from ESO about the search of its next astronomical ground-based programme for the 2040s (ESO Expanding Horizons), the community is getting organized to prepare the science case, including a reference design concept, for a new millimeter/sub-millimeter facility in the 2040s, which builds upon the successes of the current ALMA Observatory. These efforts are taking place within the ALMA2040 network, a community-driven initiative to define the key scientific questions of the 2040s and translate them into a technical vision for a next-generation transformational (sub)-millimeter facility.
We are organising an ALMA2040 workshop in Paris (on-site / on-line), at IAP, 98 bis Boulevard Arago, 75014 Paris, Seminar Meeting Room Evry Schatzmann, on March 26-27th, 2026
The goal of this workshop is to make these European-led efforts better known to the French community and engage further support and contribution toward a coherent and community-endorsed base concept.

3. Workshop: “GR effects in ΛSS”, 8-12 June 2026, Aegina island, Greece
—————————————————————————————-
We are pleased to announce GR effects in ΛSS, a workshop on general-relativistic effects in large-scale structure, taking place 8–12 June 2026 at the Old Prison of Aegina, on Aegina island, Greece (a short ferry trip from Athens).
This meeting continues the series of workshops on GR effects in cosmology (Cape Town 2016, Zurich 2017, Sexten 2018, Zurich 2019, Porto 2022, Geneva 2024, Garching 2025), where we discuss advances in relativistic modelling, recent progress on novel observables, and analysis methodologies for current and upcoming LSS surveys.
Topics include (but are not limited to): relativistic effects in galaxy clustering and other lightcone observables, relativistic corrections to LSS statistics, connections to simulations, and strategies to extract information from new surveys.
Further information and registration details are available on the workshop webpage: https://indico.cern.ch/e/greffectsAegina
