Announcement : Bilateral Workshop between the Kavli Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University and the Instituto de Astrofisica, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile on Active Galactic Nuclei and Galaxies

Dear Colleagues,
 
This is the first announcement that we plan to hold a bilateral astrophysics workshop between KIAA-PKU and the Instituto de Astrofisica, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (PUC) on topics of active galactic nuclei and galaxy evolution and other related topics. The workshop will be held on Feb 13-17 2017 at KIAA-PKU, Beijing. The main goals of this workshop are to develop collaborations between KIAA/DoA-PKU and PUC and promote cooperation between the Chinese and Chilean astronomical community.
 

The registration is closed.

Please contact us (rwangkiaa at pku.edu.cn) if you still want to register to the workshop.
