The 15^th International Conference on Gravitational Microlensing

and School on Modelling Planetary Microlensing Events

The 15^th international conference on Gravitational Microlensing was held in Salerno, Italy on January 20, 21, and 22, 2011. The conference was preceded by a two-day school (January 18-19), dedicated to the modelling of planetary microlensing events.

The Conference Book is available here

Salerno Microlensing Conference 2011 gathered all people active in this field, providing the state of the art of microlensing searches and the perspectives opened by new methodologies and new observational and computational facilities. Colloquia on dark matter searches and planet formation theories were also foreseen as a central part of the conference. The three-day conference was preceded by a school dedicated to the delicate issue of efficient modelling of planetary microlensing events, which requires major efforts and new ideas from new talents in order to get access to the precious physical information hidden in microlensing light curves. For one week in January 2011, Salerno was the place in which the present and the future of microlensing was be unveiled.
