This biennial Summer School Series, sponsored by the Chinese National Natural 
Science Foundation, is intended to introduce young scientists to current 
research in extragalactic astronomy. The schools are aimed promarily but not 
exclusively at graduate students in the early part of their PhD studies. They 
will consist of a small number of coherent lecture courses with mixed 
theoretical and observational emphasis. These will be given by internationally 
prominent specialists and will be supplemented by afternoon tutorials. Graduate
 students from Astronomy or Physics departments are welcome and are expected to
 have had courses in at least some of the following: astronomy, astrophysics, 
space physics, or related applied mathematics or theoretical physics. About 100
 students will be accepted and will have their local costs covered. 
Participants from East Asian countries other than China are welcome. 
The first school will be held in Shanghai in August, 2003 on the subject "
Galaxies and Galaxy Evolution". Future schools will be held at 2 year intervals
 at other locations and on other topics. Currently planned topics include "
Galaxy Clusters and Large-Scale Structure" and Active Galctic Nuclei".
