Starting from this year, Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, organizes the Xinjiang Summer Program on Astroparticle Physics (XApP), focusing on fields related to particle astrophysics as well as computational techniques and data analyses.

In the first year the program will be held from the 6th to the 17th, July. Two lectures given this year include: Introduction to Neutrino Astrophysics (中微子天文物理入门) and Basic Numerical Methods in Computational Cosmology (计算宇宙学基本数值方法). Following every introductory lecture there are also several seminar talks about frontier researches in topics related to the lecture.

The lectures and talks will be in the level for graduate students and postdocs and given in Mandarin.

From now on the registration is open. The deadline for registration is the 12th (Friday), June (the maximal number of lecture attendants is limited as 35). There is no registration fee. But every student is required to send one recommendation letter combined with his registration application.
