        Preliminary Programme:



The conference is structured as a 2-week conference, divided into an 'AGN' part (October 5-8) and an 'X-ray Binary' part (October 11-14). Each of the two main sessions, will be divided in daily sub-sessions with an invited talk. We expect lo locate two contributed talks per sub-session. They will focus on the following issues/topics:
