Meeting on Fundamental Cosmology
Meeting on Fundamental Cosmology - Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón
The annual series of Meetings on Fundamental Cosmology aims to provide a forum for discussing and reviewing all the current and upcoming large survey projects in Physical Cosmology in which scientists in Spain are involved, while encouraging at the same time the interaction with groups working on related research areas in observations, experiments and theory, including numerical simulations, instrumentation, astrophysics, gravitation and particle physics.

About Teruel
Teruel is located in central Spain, in the south of the Aragón region. The province is home to notable examples of Mudéjar architecture. The city of Teruel is a prime example of this architecture and was awarded the World Heritage Designation by the UNESCO. Other interesting destinations in the province are Albarracín, with its Arab fortress; Mora de Rubielos, which has one of the best conserved castles in Aragón; and Alcalá de la Selva, which is very popular for hikers due to its attractive landscapes. Truffle and local pork products (particularly the cured ham from Teruel) are highly recommended.
Tourist information about Teruel can be found on the Teruel Versión Original website.
