8th Extragalactic Workshop
"After the First Stars"
June 15-16th 2005
Plans for the workshop are progressing, and a list of invited speakers
is appended below. Everyone who has asked to attend will be welcome,
and almost everyone who has asked to give a talk will be able to do
so. A detailed schedule will be available on Monday 23rd May.
Please circulate this announcement around your department.
As with previous Extragalactic workshops postgraduate students are
especially welcome and we would encourage them to register and
volunteer to give a talk. Part of the flavour of these events is the
lively discussion on a currently topical aspect of astronomy. The
total cost, including meals, for someone staying in student
accommodation is only 80 pounds.
A webpage with details of the workshop has been set up at
