We cordially invite your participation.
The purpose of this winter school is to present an overview of the progress in major areas of cosmic ray astrophysics and gamma-ray astronomy in recent years, and to provide an introduction to the essential physics and concepts. It will also be an opportunity to bring together both new and established researchers in the field for discussion and exchange of ideas.
The programme will cover a broad range of topics within cosmic ray astrophysics and gamma-ray astronomy, ranging from theory/modelling & simulation to instrumentation & observation.
The school is intended for graduate research (PhD and Masters) students and post-docs with an interest in becoming involved in high energy astrophysics (in particular, topics relating to cosmic rays and gamma-rays), as well as early-career scientists already active in the field looking to broaden their understanding. It will comprise of a keynote lecture and six primary lecture series from international experts, plus five highlight science talks to complement the programme. The keynote lecture will be given by Prof Werner Hofmann (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany).
Please see our website for detailed information about the lecturers, courses and highlight talks: http://phys.cts.nthu.edu.tw/actnews/content.php?Sn=505

部分大學公佈:
British universities have today moved to empty their campuses of all but essential staff and researchers, telling students to vacate their accommodation.
Oxford University’s famous Bodleian library shut its doors on Wednesday morning, while Imperial College and University College London have told students that normal services and facilities would be unavailable, and that they should prepare to move out.
The University of Cambridge said its libraries would close from Wednesday evening and other buildings would shut on Friday, with staff to work from home unless needed for “business-critical” activities.
“We are asking students – both undergraduate and postgraduate – to return home now, if possible. It is especially urgent for international students needing to make travel arrangements to do so as quickly as possible, as many countries are already imposing travel restrictions,” Cambridge’s vice-chancellor, Stephen Toope, said.
Toope said for students unable to leave Cambridge, “college accommodation will be available if needed”.
UCL told students: “Given the UK government’s advice about reducing all but essential travel, our strongest possible advice to all students who are able to return to their home is that you must do so within the next few days.”
Previously universities had cancelled lectures and in-person teaching while otherwise remaining open, but have now taken more aggressive action to tackle coronavirus.
