The field of Astrophysics and Cosmology has grown a lot over the past few decades. The experimental breakthroughs in recent years as well as future international collaborations have gathered great interest in these exciting areas of Astrophysics and Cosmology. National Centre for Physics (NCP) has setup a working group on Astrophysics and Cosmology and we organized a three day International Workshop on Astrophysics and Cosmology in Sep 2017. This year NCP is organizing a four-day International Workshop on Astrophysics and Cosmology Oct 28-31, 2019. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the core areas of Astrophysics and Cosmology. It is intended for beginning graduate students, as well as for finishing undergraduate students. The aim of the workshop is to foster discussion about all aspects of astrophysics and cosmology, focusing mostly on Astrophysical and Cosmological implications, through a small number of invited talks and discussion. As such, the activity will serve as a forum where the young participants in the field will have a chance to initiate research collaborations at national and international level.
