The measurement of the large-scale structure of the Universe offers a unique window to fundamental physics as well as to galaxy and cluster formation processes. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts to discuss prospects for testing Einstein's General Relativity, detecting massive neutrinos, and constraining the nature of Dark Matter, while elucidating the role of baryonic physics. For this, we will consider recent advances in computer simulations, machine learning, and advanced statistical tools, and we will discuss plans and strategy for the next decade.
We don't have a specific code of conduct, but be professional and considerate towards others during discussions and events. You can also check the APS code of conduct.
The meeting will be held at the Josebe Olarra auditorium located at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC).
Donostia-San Sebastián is located in the northeast of the Spanish Basque Country: 110 km from Bilbao, 500 km from Madrid, and 800 km from Paris. Here we collect some information on how to get there.
The Adif train station “Estación del Norte” is in the center of San Sebastián, close to Urumea river. It offers connections to several Spanish cities, including Madrid and Barcelona. There is also Metro Donostialdea, popularly known as “Topo”, a narrow-gauge train connecting San Sebastián (main station in Amara) with cities along the Basque Coast, from Bilbao to Hendaye (France).
By bus:The San Sebastián bus station has lines to cities throughout Spain. The main company traveling here is Alsa.
By car:The city is connected to the rest of Spain by the N-1 (Madrid-Irun highway), AP-8 (Bilbao-Irun highway), and A-15 (Pamplona-San Sebastián highway).
Within town:San Sebastián has a dense network of public transportation. You can find the best connection on the DBus website. The bus stop closest to the main bus station (where the buses from Bilbao arrive) is called "Iparreko Geltokia". The town is not big: it's about half an hour's walk from the bus station to the Palacio Miramar (and the walk is quite nice, mostly along the beach). DIPC is located in the western part of town (coord: Latitude: 43.30556 | Longitude: -2.01062) a good half hour's walk from the train station (see here for a high resolution map).
