Description
SCHOOL: 22 - 26 July 2013

WORKSHOP: 29 July - 2 August 2013

The purpose of the School is to provide the theoretical and computational tools to study the implications of the recent results from CMB experiments.  It is intended for graduate students, as well as more senior non-expert researchers that are interested in these fields.  The Workshop is devoted to the discussion of the experimental CMB results in all their aspects, their relation with other probes and the future prospects.
