DUEL kick-off meeting, 8-9 October 2007, Edinburgh U.K.
-
Outline
DUEL is a Marie-Curie European Research Training Network supporting a number of postdocs and PhD students at DUEL nodes across Europe. The aim of DUEL is to exploit the three main Weak Lensing Surveys currently being undertaken with European participation, CFHTLS, VST-KIDS and Pan-STARRS to study dark matter and dark energy. To do this we need to exchange and develop methods and tools.
The DUEL Kick-Off Meeting will be to introduce DUEL to the DUEL Research Fellows and PhD students, to discuss the scientific background to gravitational lensing, weak lensing analysis and the basic tools, as well as current updates on recent research.

Venue
The meeting will take place at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, on Blackford Hill to the South of Edinburgh. See here for directions.
