The 15^th International Conference on Gravitational Microlensing

and School on Planetary Microlensing Events Modelling

The 15^th international conference on Gravitational Microlensing will be held in Salerno, Italy on January 20, 21, and 22, 2011.

Salerno Microlensing Conference 2011 will gather all people active in this field, providing the state of the art of microlensing searches and the perspectives opened by new methodologies and new observational and computational facilities. Colloquia on dark matter searches and planet formation theories are also foreseen as a central part of the conference. The three-day conference will be preceded by a school dedicated to the delicate issue of efficient modelling of planetary microlensing events, which requires major efforts and new ideas from new talents in order to get access to the precious physical information hidden in microlensing light curves. For one week in January 2011, Salerno will thus be the place in which the present and the future of microlensing will be unveiled.
