Workshop "Lensing at different scales: strong, weak, and synergies between the two"
Through August 4, 2023 ERC 401
This workshop will bring together researchers from both regimes of lensing to discuss such questions and prepare the community to overcome the outstanding challenges with data from the next generation facilities. The workshop will have a balanced mixture of talks and discussions with ample time for collaboration in breakout groups.
