Dear Colleagues,

We are organising a conference on "The formation of disk galaxies" in Ascona, Switzerland (June 27th - July 1st, 2005 ).

The aim is to discuss the latest results in observations, theoretical scenarios and numerical modelling of the formation of disk galaxies, bringing together established experts as well as young researchers. The format of the meeting will be close to a workshop, with plenty of time left for discussions during and after each session.

The conference centre is located within walking distance of Ascona and the beautiful Lake Maggiore with spectacular views of the nearby Swiss Alps. The meeting web page with travel details, topics and invited speakers can be found here:
