Founded in 1993 by Jean Tran Thanh Van, the association Rencontres du Vietnam, a non-profit organization and an official partner of UNESCO, has as its objective the promotion of international exchanges between Vietnam and the international community, particularly in the areas of science and education. It also aims at the encouragement and integration of Vietnamese scientists into the international scientific community and at supporting the role of education and science by encouraging scientific awareness and stimulating passion for science in the younger generation. The Rencontres du Vietnam lies within the scope of two series of scientific meetings created by Jean Tran Thanh Van : the Rencontres de Moriond in 1966 and the Rencontres de Blois in 1989.

The creation of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) has the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education by fostering exchanges between Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.

The school will cover the following topic: Cosmology

Welcome to the 10th Vietnam School of Astrophysics (VSOA10). This year, the school focuses on modern cosmology: how the Universe evolved from its early conditions into the large-scale structure observed today, and how cosmological information is extracted from increasingly precise data.

Cosmology is entering a data-rich era. Observations of the cosmic microwave background, galaxy clustering, weak gravitational lensing, and other large-scale structure probes are testing the standard cosmological model with unprecedented precision. At the same time, advances in numerical simulations, statistical inference, and machine learning are changing how theoretical predictions are connected to observations.

The program will combine lectures and discussion sessions covering theoretical foundations, cosmological perturbations, structure formation, numerical simulations, observational probes, likelihood-based data analysis, and modern simulation-based inference. The goal is to provide students with a coherent path from physical principles to the analysis and interpretation of cosmological data.

The school is financially supported by Rencontres du Vietnam.

Accommodation for lecturers and students is reserved at Seagull Hotel: 489 An Dương Vương st., Quy Nhơn Nam, Gia Lai, Vietnam.

Some limited accommodation and funds for local travel may be available for students from Vietnam and other Asian developing countries.
