HYP2012: XI International Conference on Hypernuclear and Strange Particle Physics
The HYP conference brings together theoreticians and experimentalists working on the physics of hadron processes and bound nuclear systems
containing strangeness. This area of research covers a broad variety of topics, including the physics of ? hypernuclei, multistrange systems,
kaonic nuclear clusters or the role of strangeness in extreme forms of matter. Over the years, the conference has always been open to including
new and challenging problems, extending its frontiers to emerging subfields in nuclear and particle physics.

Benasque 2012 - Modern Cosmology: Early Universe, CMB, and LSS
With the most recent measurements of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies (CMB) and large scale structures (LSS) of the universe as well
as various other astronomical observations, it is now possible to have a clear and consistent picture of the history and content of the universe
since nucleosynthesis. A feaverish activity is taking place for measuring the cosmological parameters with great precision, and for understanding
better the origin of primordial perturbations, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, the mechanisms responsible for the formation of non-linear
stuctures, and the implications of cosmological observations for particle physics. After the success of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Benasque workshops on
Modern Cosmology held in 2006, 2008 and 2010, we wish again to bring together leading international experts on both theoretical and observational
aspects of cosmology, into a particularly beautiful and inspiring atmosphere, below the pic of Aneto, the highest point in the Pyrenees. The 4th Benasque
workshop on Modern Cosmology was held from the 5th to the 25th of August 2012, and has been similar in the spirit of the first
three editions, with a program consisting mainly on a few lectures and long discussion sessions, leaving plenty of time in the afternoon for
interactions and research, as well as for mountain hiking and trecking.

Cool Stars 17
The "Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun" (also known as "Cool Stars") have been running for 30 years since the first one,
organized by Andrea Dupree, was held in Cambridge Massachusetts in 1980.
Cool Stars is now a well established workshop, which gathers biennially about 400 worldwide experts in Low-Mass Stars, Solar Physics
and more recently also Exoplanets, creating an stimulating cross-disciplinary exchange environment in these fields. Cool Star meetings
have a long tradition of presenting cutting-edge science, as shown by outstanding results such as the discovery of the first Extrasolar Planet
and the first confirmed Brown Dwarf, which were first announced in the Cool Stars 9 meeting celebrated in Florence, Italy in 1995.
Cool Stars 17 was held at the World Trade Center in Barcelona,Spain, starting with an opening Welcome reception on the evening of
Sunday, Jun 24, 2012. Science sessions ran from Monday, June 25 through Friday, June 29, 2012, with the traditional plenary
sessions in the morning, splinter sessions in the afternoon focused on topics proposed by meeting attendees, and poster displays with
the contributions from all conference participants.

Sant Cugat Astrophysics Forum
The Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics is a framework where to host international meetings of experts directed to analyze the most violent and
energetic phenomena in the Universe.
The most recognizable meetings of the Forum are the Workshop sessions, focusing on an specific aspect of astrophysics,
held every two years, with a typical size of 100 persons, all plenary talks, no posters, and a duration of three or four days.
An edited book reflecting the status of the topic discussed is published after each Workshop.
An Award to the best presentation by a young scientist is given, and an outreach event gives account
in lay-person terms what the Forum session will be about.
The Forum is established under the auspices of the Sant Cugat City Hall, the Institute for Space Sciences (CSIC),
the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), and the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA).

2nd Iberian Gravitational Wave Meeting
It is a pleasure to announce that the 2nd Iberian Gravitational-Wave Meeting 2012 will be organized by the Gravitational Wave Astronomy -
LISA Group of the Institut de Ciències de l'Espai (CSIC-IEEC) in Barcelona. Following the format of the first meeting we plan to organize a 3-day
meeting starting on February 15th and ending on February 17th, 2012. The style of the meeting will be informal, with significant time for discussions,
and there will be no registration fee. In future communications we will describe the details of the scientific program.
The idea of the meeting is to bring together researchers with interest in the development of Gravitational Wave Astronomy, including researchers
from related areas of Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Fundamental Physics.
Please, feel free to send this announcement to scientists that may be interested in attending.

COST CM-0805
The main objective of this Action is to study chemical processes relevant to the physical conditions encountered in the interstellar medium, and on the surface and in the atmospheres of planetary bodies. The Action aims to provide new insights into the dynamics of the chemical reactions leading to molecular synthesis under such conditions and reveal how these are influenced by the ambient temperature and pressure. Special attention will also be given to the study of the novel surface chemistry prevalent on interstellar medium dust grains and planetary surfaces. The Action also aims to combine such laboratory data with complementary chemical models to allow a fuller interpretation of observational data.

NR HEP: Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics
The aim of this workshop is to bring together world experts in two extremely active and successful, but up to now essentially disjoint, research fields: numerical relativity and high energy physics. More specifically, within high energy physics we shall focus on the gauge gravity duality and trans-Planckian scattering.

Misteries of the Cosmos
When was the first time that the human looked up at the sky and started to ask himself about what he was looking at? We really do not know, but since then most of these questions have been solved although, many more are waiting to be answered. Some of these questions will be the main topic of the conference cicle, which is organized by the Institute of Space Sciences in colaboratio with the Cosmocaixa.
