Résumé: This workshop on Deep Field Imaging is organised by Cavendish Astrophysics and is part of the Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses on the Square Kilometre Array Design Studies (MCCT SKADS.) The aim of the EU MCCT programme is to promote, discuss and disseminate SKA and SKADS ideas to young researchers in order to provide the next generation of European astronomers with basic and advanced scientific and technology knowledge.

Résumé: The recent years have seen substantial progress in the understanding of quantum gravity as a local quantum theory of the metric field, despite its perturbative non-renormalisability. Interesting results have been achieved based on non-perturbative renormalisation group techniques in the continuum, numerical simulations on the lattice, and new ideas within perturbation theory. This workshop will gather the leading scientists in these fields to share their expertise, evaluate results and phenomenological implications, and stimulate further studies relating these approaches and neighbouring ones.

Résumé: This programme will bring together world-leading researchers in disciplines including accretion disc theory, planet formation, planet-disc interaction and solar system dynamics. With such a group we seek to provide a firm theoretical basis for our understanding of extrasolar planetary systems and their formation in protoplanetary discs. The programme encompasses three themes: (1) dynamics of astrophysical discs and the numerical and analytical methods used to study them (i.e., the study of gaseous accretion discs); (2) dynamics specific to discs in which planets are forming including that formation process (i.e. the study of how solid material interacts with gaseous discs); (3) dynamics that is relevant once planets have formed (i.e. the study of solid body interactions).
