UK Astrophysics SPH Forum 2010
Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics
The University of Manchester
June 21-22 2010
We are pleased to announce the 2nd UK Astrophysics SPH Forum, to be held at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics in Manchester on Monday June 21st and Tuesday June 22nd 2010. Our aim is to provide a forum for astrophysicists working in the UK to meet, find out what each other are doing, share knowledge and discuss the latest developments in SPH. The meeting will focus on techniques rather than science per se and will leave plenty of time for discussion.
The meeting dates have been chosen to co-incide with the 5th International SPHERIC SPH Workshop to be held in Manchester on June 23-25.
