"Galaxies at High Redshift"

The IAC, in collaboration with the European Commission (Improving Human Reseach Potential Programme) and Iberia, has organized its eleventh Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which is to take place from 15 to 26 November 1999 at the "Taburiente" Hotel, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This year’s Winter School lectures are to be given by eight experts in galaxy formation and evolution who approach the subject from different points of view. The participants are 70 students from 13 countries who either are in the process of preparing or have recently completed their doctoral theses on this year’s topic. The school will include 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 lectures will be published by Cambridge University Press.
