Edgard Gunzig and Pasquale Nardone RGGR Universite Libre de
Bruxelles CP231 1050 Bruxelles Belgium The NATO Advanced Research
Workshop on "The Origin of Structure in the Universe" was organized
to bring together workers in various aspects of relativistic
cosmology with the aim of assessing the present status of our
knowledge on the formation and evolution of structure. As it
happened, the meeting was particularly timely. Only two days before
the 30 or so physicists from many countries gathered for a week at
the Chateau du Pont d'Oye, in the forests of the southern Belgian
province of Luxembourg, newspaper headlines all over the world
announced the results of the analysis of the first full year of
data from the Cosmic Background Observer Satellite (COBE). This
long-awaited confirmation of the theoretically predicted anisotropy
in the microwave background radiation opened a new era in
observational cos mology. The realization of the new relevance of
the subject of the workshop and the questions raised by the
observational results, in addition to bring ing TV crews and
newspaper journalists, naturally influenced and stimulated many
discussions among the participants. The success of the meeting as
usual is due to a combination of factors. Besides the high quality
of the talks, discussions were encouraged by the warm atmosphere of
the Chateau, for which we are grateful to Mme. Camille Orts, and
its beautiful surroundings, not to mention the marvelous cuisine."
