School on 'Cosmic magnetic fields'
------------------------------

First announcement of the 
XXV Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics,
this year devoted to  

'Cosmic magnetic fields'.

The Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics has been organized by the 
Instituto de  Astrofisica de Canarias  (http://www.iac.es/index.php?lang=en)
every year since 1989. The next one  will be held in the word heritage city 
of La Laguna, Tenerife,  from November 11 to November 22, 2013.

**The school will overview all astrophysical environments where the 
magnetic field plays a significant role. It will provide a unifying view of 
the subject,  from cosmology to the Sun, and from molecular clouds to AGNs. 
Details on lecturers and lecture topics are given in the school webpage.**

In order to maximize interactions, lectures and students will stay in the same 
hotel, which is also the school venue (http://www.hotelnivaria.com/).
Special poster sessions will be organized for the  students that want to 
present their recent work. 

The school is addressed to post-graduate students in Astrophysics completing 
their PhD, and also to young post-docs. It is limited  to 50 participants, and  
requires a registration fee of 1500 UE. The fee covers attending the school plus 
lodging in  double-room, half board (breakfast and lunch) occupancy, during 
the duration of the school. In addition, it covers the social events and excursions 
to the  two major observatories of the Canary Islands ('El Teide', in Tenerife
