Dark Matter Meeting

The Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics will host an informal Dark Matter meeting on Oct 21st, 2011. This meeting is on the initiative of the Norwegian Centre for Dark Matter Analysis, Research and Applications (DAMARA) at the Department of Physics and Technology in Bergen and organised together with the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo.

Overview:

The main objective of the meeting is for young people in Norway working on Dark Matter related topics to meet and get to know each other. Secondly, the meeting presents the new collaboration between the Oskar Klein Center for Cosmoparticle Physics (OKC) in Stockholm, Sweden and the DAMARA project on CTA as well as the new collaboration with the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo.
