The Second Aegean Summer School is devoted to the Physics of the Early Universe. The main objective of the School is to bring together Physicists from different fields like Astrophysics, High Energy Physics, Relativity and Cosmology and in a relaxed and stimulated atmosphere discuss the new ideas and developments in the Physics of the Early Universe. It is also aimed at introducing postgraduate students and young researchers to this very interesting and fast developing area of Modern Physics.

The topics which will be covered are: Physical Cosmology, Black Hole Physics, Cosmological Perturbations, String Cosmology, CMB Anisotropies, Brane Cosmology, Dark Matter/Energy of the Universe, Alternative Gravity Theories, UHECR, Observational Cosmology, Gravitational Waves.

The morning sessions will consist of mainly review talks on major subjects of the field, while in the afternoon sessions short talks will be given on current research topics.

Those graduate and postgraduate students interested in attending the school are requested to send a short CV and one recommendation letter to the School's Secretary Ms. Evelyn Pappa, email: evepappa@central.ntua.gr. Financial support will be provided for a limited number of accepted applicants.

The School is organized by the Physics Department of the National Technical University of Athens, and supported by the Ministry of the Aegean, the Ministry of the Culture, the Ministry of National Education, the Eugenides Foundation, the Hellenic Atomic Energy Committee, the Metropolis of Syros, the National Bank of Greece, the South Aegean Regional Secretariat and it is part of the activities of the "Supersymmetry and the Early Universe" network (HRRN-CT-2000-00152) funded by the European Commission.
