From September 15 to 19, the Institute of Computational Cosmology (ICC) at Durham University (United Kingdom) will host the Durham Advanced School on Astrophysical Simulations, an educational event that brings together 50 participants and a dozen international speakers to explore the most advanced techniques in astrophysical simulation.

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has a strong presence at this event, with 12 participants—including several PhD students—and three guest speakers: Arianna di Cintio, Claudio Dalla Vecchia, and Eva Durán Camacho, the latter a postdoctoral researcher on the European ExGal-Twin project.

The school combines lectures and practical sessions that seek to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its application in the real world, promoting the exchange of experiences and collaborative work between young researchers and specialists.

This event is part of the ExGal-Twin: Excellence in Galaxies project, funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe program (WIDERA). Coordinated by IAC researcher Johan Knapen, ExGal-Twin aims to strengthen the IAC's research capacity, profile, and impact in the study of galaxies by establishing strategic alliances with prestigious institutions such as the University of Groningen (Netherlands), the CNRS-Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg (France), and the ICC at Durham University (United Kingdom).
