This year’s Swiss Cosmology Days took place on 11 and 12 February 2016 at the EPFL. The meetings are jointly organized by Professors Ruth Durrer, University of Geneva and Alexandre Refregier, ETH Zurich. Our aim is to promote communication and exchanges between Swiss Cosmologists and to specifically provides a platform for young PhD students and Postdocs to present their current research areas and results.

The first Swiss Python Summit took place on February 2016 at HSR University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil. Joel Akeret, a software engineer in Professor Refregier's  Cosmology Research Group, was one of the initiators and organisers. Musicians, software developers and researchers presented their work and its relation to the programming language Python and over 114 attendees were able to learn more about Python, watch demonstrations on the latest tools and broaden their horizons.
