Dear Colleagues!

We are happy to inform you that the 2nd International Winter School-Seminar on Gravity, Astrophysics and Cosmology «Petrov School» will take place from 5th to 10th December, 2016 in the Institute of Physics of Kazan Federal University. The objective of the Winter Petrov School is to preserve and develop the high potential of the Russian scientific school in theory of gravity, astrophysics, cosmology and related areas of physics and mathematics. Programme of the School will include lectures by the leading scientists:

• A.A. Starobinsky (Landau ITP, Moscow, Russia) Advanced topics on inflation

• I.L. Buchbinder (TSPU, Tomsk, Russia) Elements of supersymmetric field theory (Supersymmetry for beginners)

• V.N. Melnikov (RUDN University, Moscow, Russia)

• M. Sami (Centre for Theoretical Physics, New Delhi, India)

• S. Capozziello (Napoli University, Italia)

• S.D. Odintsov (ICREA, Barcelona, Spain) The unified inflation- dark energy evolution from modified gravities: new models

• Shin'ichi Nojiri (Nagoya University, Japan)

• M.S. Volkov (Tour University, France)

• S.V. Chervon (Ulyanovsk Pedagogical University, Russia) Scalar field cosmologies

• A.V. Toporensky (Moscow University, Russia)

All participants of the School, including young scientists, will be able to present their research during the Seminar sessions.
