The Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics is a framework where to host international meetings of experts directed to analyze the most violent and energetic phenomena in the Universe.

The most recognizable meetings of the Forum are the Workshop sessions, focusing on an specific aspect of astrophysics, held every two years, with a typical size of less than 100 persons, all plenary talks, no posters, and a duration of three or four days.

An edited book reflecting the status of the topic discussed is published after each Workshop. An Award to the best presentation by a young scientist is given at each Workshop, and an outreach event gives account in lay-person terms what the Forum session is about. 

The Forum is established under the auspices of the Sant Cugat City Hall, the Institute for Space Sciences (CSIC), the Institut d´Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), and the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA).
