***** FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT *****

II Advanced School on Galaxy Evolution

IAA-CSIC Severo Ochoa

Granada 19th-23rd May 2025


https://www.granadacongresos.com/galevol2025


THE SCHOOL

The school is designed for researchers at all career stages who are
particularly interested in the formation and evolution of galaxies.
The school is ideally positioned to offer an up-to-date scientific
perspective on the recent exciting findings in extragalactic research,
especially from the JWST and other space- and ground-based facilities.

An exciting and bright future for observational astronomy and
theoretical advancements awaits the generations of young astronomers,
thanks in large part to the array of powerful facilities available
currently and also in the near future. This is the second in a series
of schools that provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the
art in this field.

The school consistently goes beyond standard textbook knowledge,
offering valuable insights into the current frontiers of research in
both theory and observation. It strongly promotes personal interaction
between lecturers, tutors, and participants, fostering a welcoming
environment ideal for learning and sharing knowledge.

The lectures and tutorials will be highly interactive, allowing ample
time for questions and discussion. To support this, several panel
discussions and afternoon tutorials will be scheduled throughout the
week, encouraging a collaborative atmosphere. Importantly, all
participants are strongly encouraged to present their ongoing work
and/or future projects, either in our dedicated speakers' corner or
during the panel sessions.

MAIN SCIENCE TOPICS

• First Galaxies in the JWST era: theoretical and observational
perspectives.
• Dynamics and chemical enrichment of galaxies and their environment.
Chemodynamics. Modelling and numerical simulations.
• Active galactic nuclei and their multi-wavelength properties;
massive Black Holes,
and interaction with galaxy hosts. Impact of the 'monsters'
on the environment.

ionized gas and dust in
local and high redshift galaxies.
• Advanced stellar populations and galaxy evolution models.
• Cosmic star formation and physical properties of galaxies at
different redshifts.
• Artificial Intelligence in galaxy evolution research. Euclid,
LSST, JWST…
