Programme

​The programme will shift its focus during the six weeks and is divided into three main themes: 'Chemistry of complex organic molecules in space', ' Future facilities for observing planet formation and chemistry in space', and 'Protoplanetary disks, planet formation and young planetary systems'. The focus of the different weeks will be as follows:

Chemistry of complex organic molecules in space
     May 2-13: Complex organic molecules in high and low-mass SF: tools, searches,
                    current results/questions and future directions
     May 16-20: Chemistry of complex organic molecules: formation pathways,
                    comparison with theory, laboratory and observational data
 
Future facilities for observing planet formation and chemistry in space
     May 23-24: ALMA Band 2-3 development workshop
     May 25-27: Workshop on Future directions for Submm facilities

Protoplanetary disks, planet formation and young planetary systems
     May 30-Jun 3: Protoplanetary disks: Properties and evolution
     June 6-10: Planet formation and young planetary systems

Each week, a group of 5-10 invited scientists from around the world (see Participants) will together focus on the different aspects of the themes listed above in collaborative work sessions. Almost every week day afternoon at 15-17 there will be a joint session at Mallvinden (MV building, Chalmers, see Venue) where the invited scientists give seminars/talks on the current theme, followed by discussions. These sessions will be open to interested local scientists, who are encouraged to register and take this oppportunity to interact with Leonardo Testi and the other invited participants.

A schedule for the afternoon seminar/discussion sessions, including titles and abstracts, will appear here and be updated as each week approaches. There will be no such seminars scheduled during the 4th week, May 23-27, which is devoted to the two larger specialized workshops.
