Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 6th Summer School "Galaxy Formation and Evolution in a Cosmological Context", which will take place on the Greek island of Spetses on 30th August — 5th September 2026:
https://galaxyformationschool2026.obspm.fr

This school has a similar format to the one organised in 2024 and is targeted to students that are at the beginning of their PhD work or about to start a PhD in galaxy formation and evolution.

The topics covered by the school are:
• Models of galaxy formation in a cosmological context (Andrea Cattaneo, Observatoire de Paris) • The formation of galaxies in cosmological simulations (Julien Devriendt/Adrianne Slyz, University of Oxford) • Galaxy formation and evolution in deep surveys (Sandro Tacchella, University of Cambridge) • Galaxy formation and evolution: the role of the environment (Benedetta Vulcani, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova) • The first stars and cosmic reionisation (Andrea Ferrara, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa) • Galactic chemical evolution (Nicolas Prantzos, Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris)

The programme is already online and the registration deadline is 10th April 2026.
We kindly ask you to diffuse this announcement within your institution and/or to forward it to any students who may be interested in the school.

Best regards,
Andrea Cattaneo
