   Announcement of the starburst - AGN connection conference
Oct 27  to Oct 31, 2008, Shanghai
Starburst and AGN, which are among the most active extragalactic phenomena, 
have been studied independently for many years.  Recent observations reveal 
that many galaxies exhibit both AGN and starburst features, which naturally 
requires astrophysicists to investigate the physical connection between them.
The rapid development of multi-wavelength observations during the last 
decade have provided considerable new information and many theoretical 
studies have produced new major results, which allow us to understand more 
deeply the physics inside these two phenomena.  The goal of this conference is 
to review the past progress, to present new results, to plan future work, and to 
establish collaborations between people both observationally and theoretically.
The conference will be held at Shanghai Normal University from Oct 27 to Oct
31, 2008, which has a very pleasant campus located southwest of the city.  The 
deadline for registration is July 30, 2008.
