Upcoming Conferences
The Institute of Space Science, in collaboration with national and international institutions, is organizing
the following scientific conferences.
For more information on the conferenes that have already been organized in the past, please click here .
2nd IBERIAN GRAVITATIONAL WAVE MEETING
February 15th-17th, 2012, Barcelona, SPAIN
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 Cičncies 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.

2012 Sant Cugat Forum
April 16th -19th, 2012, Barcelona, SPAIN
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).

COOL STARS 17
June 24th-- 29th, 2012, Barcelona, SPAIN
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 will be 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 will run 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.

HYP 2012
October 1st - 5th, 2012, Barcelona, SPAIN
The HYP conference brings together theoreticians and experimentalists working on the physics of few-hadrons and bound nuclear systems containing strangeness. This area of research covers a broad variety of topics including, among others,
the physics of &lambda 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.
This will be the eleventh in the series of conferences, held periodically every three years, following the successful HYP-X of Tokai (Japan) in 2009. The HYP2012 conference, hosted by the Nuclear Theory group of the Departament d'Estructura I Constituents de la Matčria of the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institut de Cičncies del Cosmos (ICC), will include plenary and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions, all of them taking place in the main auditorium and auxiliary rooms of the Cosmocaixa, Science Museum of Barcelona. We hope that the location will allow visitors to combine the joy of physics with mediterranean weather, food and art.
