The goal of these conferences is to bring together PhD students and postdocs in set theory in order to learn from senior researchers in the field, hear about the latest research and to discuss research issues in small focused groups. The second Young Set Theory Workshop will take place between 14-18 April 2009 at the CRM (Mathematics Research Center) in Bellaterra, near Barcelona (http://www.crm.es). The conference format will be as follows: Four senior set theorists have been invited to represent a branch of Set Theory and give morning tutorials about their work. The afternoons will be devoted to small group discussion sessions which will be organised as follows. All participants will be asked to write a one-page statement about their research. These statements will be organised into branches of set theory and presented at the conference. Based on the research statements, specific discussion sessions will be formed for those working in similar areas and more general sessions for those interested in getting an overview of the latest research in each branch of set theory. At the end of the day, we will meet altogether again to hear a talk by an outstanding invited postdoc. All accommodation and meals will be at the Vila Universitaria of the UAB (which is about 30 minutes from Barcelona by train) on the same campus as the CRM. Accommodation at Vila Universitaria will be available from a 13-18 April 2009. Due to space limitations, rooms will have to be shared and registration may be limited.
