Emilio Lora-Tamayo, President of CSIC (Spain National Research Council) gave a warm welcome to the NANOCOSMOS team members at the project kick-off meeting which is held at the CSIC headquarters in Madrid (5-6 May, 2015). He addressed the excellent collaboration between CNRS and CSIC in order to solve the fundamental problem of dust formation in the Universe. He also stood out these collaborations to tackle complex problems in all fields of science. “I really hope that in the next years this kind of collaboration between our two institutions will be strengthened”, he added.
IRAM 30m Summerschool 2015 on Millimeter Astronomy
The 8th IRAM 30m summerschool is open for applications. It will combine lectures on millimeter astronomy with observations using the 30m telescope. It will be held in September 11-18, 2015 in Pradollano near Granada, Spain. More info: IRAM Summerschool 2015
NANOCOSMOS at the recent ALMA / Herschel Archival Workshop (Garching, Germany)
Four NANOCOSMOS researchers gave their presentations at the ALMA/Herschel Archival Workshop held in Garching (Germany) at the ESO headquarters in April 15 -17, 2015. José Cernicharo (NANOCOSMOS Corresponding P.I.) talked about the synergies between the ALMA high resolution observations in the innermost zones of star-forming regions, AGB, post-AGBs stars and extragalactic objects and those of Herschel´s archive submillimeter and far-IR observations. Our postdoctoral researchers, Marcelino Agúndez, Guillermo Quintana-Lacaci and Belén Tercero talked about the following topics: Continue reading →
