The "2nd MAGPOP Network Meeting" has been held in Toledo (Spain) on February 23 - 25 2006. This meeting has been an opportunity for all the people involved in the MAGPOP network to learn about the status of ongoing projects and discuss on possible future projects.

MAGPop is a Marie Curie Research Training Network funded under the Sixth Framework Programme of the EU. The network will run from 1 December 2004 to 1 December 2008. Its objectives are to extract key physical information - stellar masses, star formation rates, star formation histories, metallicities, dust content and the incidence of accretion onto central supermassive black holes - from the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies in the local Universe and at high redshifts. The objectives of the network are to use a wide range of multiwavelength survey data to quantify empirically how the stars in galaxies were formed, how the heavy elements in galaxies were produced and how supermassive black holes were assembled over the history of the Universe. This knowledge will be used to constrain theoretical models of galaxy formation.
