Description

A conference dedicated to celebrate the career of Prof. Åke Nordlund

The conference is intended to celebrate the rich career of Professor Åke Nordlund (Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark) and in particular his contributions to the field of star formation with excursions into other fields in which Åke has extensively worked such as the modeling of stellar atmospheres, numerical code development, and more recently his work in the area of planet formation.

We hope many of you can join us and take part in this celebration.
