The purpose of the School is to present in a pedagogical way some current themes of research in cosmology, including the search for inflationary B-modes and various aspects of the Large Scale Structure. It is intended for advanced graduate students, as well as more Senior Researchers.
The School will be preceded by the Advanced Workshop on Cosmological Structures from Reionization to Galaxies: Combining Efforts from Analytical and Numerical Methods http://indico.ictp.it/event/a14279/
