The goals of the IMPRS Summer Schools are to:
- bring together research students of various fields for discussion and exchange of ideas;
- encourage young researchers and advanced students to continue research in these fields; and
- strengthen future interdisciplinary research in these areas;
The school aimed at giving a comprehensive overview over our current
understanding of the formation of the first and second generation of
stars in the universe and the build-up of the first galaxies.
It has addressed the process of reionization, its physical origin and
evolution in time, and current and future observations that will help
to gain deeper insight into this important epoch of cosmic evolution.
