FRONT PAGE

The IAC, in collaboration with the European Commission (Training and Mobility of Researchers Programme) and Iberia, has organized its tenth Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which is to take place from 16 to 27 November 1998 at the Faculties of Mathematics and Physics of the University of La Laguna (Tenerife). This year´s Winter School marks the tenth anniversary of this annual gathering in which young astrophysicists and lecturers of scientific prestige from all over the world meet and interact in a joint study of current astronomical topics. This year’s Winter School lectures are to be given by eight experts in various fields of astrophysics relating to globular clusters, objects of importance for studying the age of the Universe, galaxy formation and stellar evolution. The participants are 66 students from 26 countries who either are in the process of preparing or have recently completed their doctoral theses on this year’s topic. The course will end with visits to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias in La Laguna and to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma) and Teide Observatory (Tenerife). As in previous years, the Winter School course will be published by Cambridge University Press.
