The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) and the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), will hold a SUMMER SCHOOL ON ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY 12 - 30 June 2000 Miramare, Trieste, Italy ORGANIZERS: G. SENJANOVIC (ICTP), A. SMIRNOV (ICTP), G. THOMPSON (ICTP) ADVISORY COMMITTEE: R. BARBIERI (Pisa), N. CABIBBO (ENEA), G. DVALI (NYU), J. ELLIS (CERN), C. JARLSKOG (Lund), L. MAIANI (CERN), J.C. PATI (Maryland), V. RUBAKOV (Moscow), M. TURNER (Chicago) TOPICS TO BE COVERED: . INTRODUCTION TO THE STANDARD COSMOLOGICAL MODEL . FINITE TEMPERATURE FIELD THEORY . STRUCTURE FORMATION . NUCLEOSYNTHESIS . NEUTRINO ASTROPHYSICS . HIGH ENERGY COSMIC RAYS AND GAMMA-RAY BURSTS . BLACK HOLES AND NEUTRON STARS . BARYOGENESIS AND LEPTOGENESIS . INFLATION . UNIFICATION OF PARTICLE FORCES AND COSMOLOGY Immediately following the School, i.e. from 3 to 6 July, there will be a CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS BEYOND FOUR DIMENSIONS, to which some of the School participants will be invited. Scientists and students from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the School. As it will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. The age limit for participants is 45 years. Although the main purpose of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries through a programme of training activities within a framework of international cooperation, students and post-doctoral scientists from developed countries are also welcome to attend. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by the home institutions. However, funds are available for some participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee for attending the School. The "Request for Participation" form, to be found at the back of Bulletin No. 1, (also available via e-mail: smr1227@ictp.trieste.it, using as Subject: get announcement, or via WWW server: http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~highener/), should be completed, signed and posted to: Summer School on Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology (c/o Ms. Janet Varnier) the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics Strada Costiera 11, I-34014 Trieste, Italy.
