3rd Iberian Cosmology Meeting Lisboa: view from Miradouro da Graça. This is the third in a series of meetings which aim to encourage interactions and collaborations between researchers working in Cosmology and related areas (Particle Physics and Astronomy) in Portugal and Spain. Portuguese and Spanish researchers working abroad will also be most welcome. This third Meeting will take place in Lisboa, Portugal, at the Complexo Interdisciplinar da UL, on the 6 and 7 of March 2008. The format of the meetings is broadly inspired by the highly successful UK cosmology meetings, which have been running for more than a decade, and the Journees des Lacs Alpins held in the French and Swiss Alps. The meetings are informal, and there is no registration fee. There are also no invited speakers. All participants wishing to speak can do so, by naming a topic when they register. Should there be excessive demand, preference will be given to younger participants. Blackboard talks are encouraged, but not compulsory. All the time slots are of equal length (typically 20 to 30 minutes), and there are also no parallel sessions or posters. The local organizer of each workshop will be in charge of setting up the program. In addition to the talks there can also be time for guided discussions, particularly if there are several requests for talks on a common 'hot' topic. Unlike most conferences and workshops, where speakers typically present finished pieces of work, these meetings are designed to encourage the presentation of work in progress (or even being started or planned). In this way the opportunities for constructive feedback and suggestions are enhanced, and in the long term this will lead to the development of productive synergies and collaborations. In this same spirit the meetings will not be restricted to a single focused topic, but are open to cosmologists in the broadest sense, from theoretical particle physics to observational astrophysics. Stimulating interactions between theorists and observers is a particular concern of the organizers, and will be the key factor for the success of the meetings. At each meeting the local organizers should as much as possible secure sufficient funds to help cover the expenses of students travelling from the other country. Photos
