Abstract

The meeting will take place in the KICC Ryle meeting room on April 11-12. An extra day of discussions is planned for April 13. This meeting is dedicated to the studies of the 21-cm line from both the theoretical and the observational points of view, thus bringing together the diverse Cambridge community working in this field.
