During the 5-day workshop journalists will have the opportunity to join the astronomers to get an overview of the main scientific topics where observations at ESO facilities have contributed to major progress in astronomy, from Solar System astronomy to fundamental physics. Original perspectives on the scientific challenges of the coming decades will also be presented.

Interviews with participants will also be possible.

Among the invited speakers are:

Richard Ellis: ESO's impact on ground-based astronomy

Marijn Franx: High-redshift clusters and proto-clusters

Reinhard Genzel: The Milky Way centre

Alvio Renzini: How ESO changed astronomy in Europe

The host of the workshop will be Professor Tim de Zeeuw, ESO's Director General, who will speak about ESO's next fifty years.

Other "bonus tracks" will include presentations about the first ALMA results, the latest unpublished VLT, VLTI and La Silla results, and an outlook for science with the E-ELT.

###

Bona-fide media representatives may apply to participate by contacting information@eso.org before 30 June 2012. Media attendance at the workshop will unfortunately be limited as space is tight. We encourage journalists to register as early as possible as places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

For further information please see the ESO@50 workshop web page at: http://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/2012/ESOat50.html.
