General Assembly 2024

10 Jun 2024, 08:30 → 13 Jun 2024, 16:00 Europe/Berlin

RUB, Veranstaltungszentrum

Eva Jütte (RUB)

The SFB1491 “Cosmic Interacting Matters – From Source to Signal” was founded in January 2022 and works on enhancing the understanding of energy transfer between the gas, magnetic field, cosmic rays, and dark matter in galaxies. 

The third general assembly of CIM in June 2024 will  also foster our discussions to prepare the follow-up proposal . 

We will have presentations of the different sub-projects, and overview talks on related topics by external experts. 

Confirmed invited speakers:

• Günter Sigl
• Anvar Shukurov
• Daniel Verscharen
• Aritra Basu
• Elisa Chisari
• Christian Glaser
• Patrick Reichherzer
• Foteini Oikonomou
• Michael Unger

In addition to the scientific program, we will continue our subconscious bias training for PIs and ECRs, 

Also, the three boards will meet during the assembly.
