The Pacific Cosmology Cooperative (PaCCo) aims to bring together mutual scientific interests and developments between cosmology groups at Berkeley/LBNL, Caltech/JPL, and Stanford/SLAC (potentially widening in the future to span the Pacific). One day workshops bring people together to exchange ideas, methods, and solutions, and initiate collaboration. These workshops will rotate among the various venues approximately every six months. Small study groups and research visits can follow up to bring a project to fruition. This collaboration aim at leading to larger inter-institutional and cross-agency cooperation.
PaCCo is supported at JPL by the Center for Academic Partnership (CAP) .

PaCCo 2 Novel Ideas in Time Domain Cosmology Thursday, October 16, 9:15am-5:15pm 375 LeConte Hall, UC Berkeley
For the 2nd Pacific Cosmology Cooperative meeting our theme has moved into the time domain, interpreted broadly - supernovae, transients, strong lensing, redshift drift, cadenced surveys, etc. This is meant to inspire, not restrict. Please remember that the idea is not to say just what you’ve done, but what you want to do in collaboration with others, from other institutions.
Inaugural PaCCo workshop at JPL, Pasadena on April 1st 2014: Novel Ideas in Large Scale Structure Surveys
At this inaugural PaCCo workshop, we expect everyone to be interactive and to actively seek new ideas and collaborations. Please highlight not just your own results but how others in PaCCo can join their strengths with yours. We hope you will find this both productive and enjoyable.
Logistics:
Instruction to reach JPL can be found here [Link] . External participants should plan to meet at the visitor center no latter than 9:00am. A passport is required for foreigners and a driving licenses is enough for US Citizen.
