The Future of Astrophysics - The Next Few Years and Beyond
29th June - 1st July at Batemans Bay, NSW South Coast

The Harley Wood Winter school is an annual event consisting of a number of lectures and informal discussions for Astronomy and Astrophysics research students (post-graduate and honours as well as interested others). The school takes place immediately before the annual scientific meeting of the Astronomical Society of Australia which was held this year at The University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA) in Canberra from Sunday 2nd - Thursday 6th July.

The 2006 Harley Wood Winter School covered the areas of Astrophysics relevant to current students while they are establishing themselves in research careers. Speakers were encouraged to talk about the current state of science in their field before moving on to discussing the new research, giving a good overview of the various areas of Astronomy and Astrophysics.  This theme allowed for a wide variety of topics to be covered and has a good link with the recent Astronomy decadal review carried out in 2005.

The school this year was held at Batemans Bay on the South Coast of NSW and ran from Thursday the 29th of June until Saturday the 1st of July.
