On Thursday 27th March, there is being organised a one day meeting on the EU FP7 program IPERCOOL (Interpretation and Parametrization of Extremely Red COOL dwarfs). This is a 4 year staff exchange program between 4 institutes (INAF - Italy, University of Hertfordshire - England, Observatório Nacional - Brazil and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory - China) that is in the last year.
The day will consist mainly of more general brown dwarf science presentations (e.g. not directly related to the Gaia + BDs issue) with results from IPERCOOL and will be open to all interested parties. It will be held at INFINI.TO, Panetarium of Torino, Via Osservatorio 30, Pino Torinese.
