KICP's Conferences, Workshops and Visitors Program The KICP is an interdisciplinary environment that brings together physicists and astronomers who range from experimentalists to observers, simulators, and theorists, to stimulate new ideas and push the forefront of cosmological research. Current topics of research in the institute include: the inflationary era; dark energy; dark matter; experimental and theoretical studies of the CMB; analysis of cosmological data including CMB, large-scale structure surveys (especially the Dark Energy Survey), and type Ia supernova; gravitational lensing and gravitational-wave studies; observational cosmology; experimental and theoretical particle astrophysics; near-field cosmology, and direct and indirect detection of dark matter. The KICP has an active program of visitors, symposia, and meetings as well as Education and Outreach opportunities. Diversity and Inclusion are core values of the KICP, and all members of the KICP are expected to adhere to our Community Values. Information about the KICP can be found at the KICP website. All participants and visitors are required to review and agree to follow the KICP Community Values. Meetings: workshops, summer schools, and conferences Dear KICP Members, Workshops and conferences supported by KICP can have a range of participant group sizes, and have typically - though not exclusively - been small focused events attended by ~30 participants. We are most interested in supporting meetings that focus on cutting-edge science related to the KICP mission, and that grow and sustain KICP's preeminence as a diverse and inclusive center for cosmological physics. In this data-rich age of cosmology research, informed by a robust theoretical framework and remarkable simulations, we anticipate that a truly broad range of workshop possibilities will fit within the KICP remit, and encourage KICP members to consider and propose accordingly. We are open to exploring ideas with you, in advance of a formal proposal, so please reach out to discuss your ideas if that would be helpful. As a useful initial framing, past typical budgets for small workshops have been 5-10K, with funds spent on organizing the event. In some cases, funds may be available to help defray the costs for a small number of participants, in particular if such funds are supportive of the KICP's mission. The Committee will evaluate all requests, prioritized as indicated above, and will provide feedback on a regular (at least quarterly) basis. If your request is approved you will be expected, as the organizer, to ensure that all participants are aware of our Community Values and to secure the agreement of all participants to abide by those values during their time at the meeting and at KICP. You will also be expected to announce the Workshop broadly within the community, in order to reach an as-diverse-as-possible pool of potential participants and speakers. If you are a KICP member and you are interested in organizing a conference or workshop, fully or partially sponsored by KICP, please submit your request through the workshop application form. Your request will be evaluated by the Conferences, Workshops and Visitors Committee. All participants are required to review and agree to follow the KICP Community Values. Visitors Dear KICP members, Please fill out the brief questionnaire in order for us to best process your request for sponsoring your visitor at KICP. For administrative purposes, we have 2 classes of visitors: "short term" and "long term". Financial support will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Those we call "short term" are up to 9 days. "Long term" visits are anything over 9 days; these require special university approval and thus take a longer time for approval. Please notice that long-term visitors who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents, must be processed for a J-1 visa. For longer visits we envision the visitor to collaborate with a number of KICP members. All visitors are required to review and agree to follow the KICP Community Values. |
