Clusters of galaxies are sensitive cosmological probes which can be used to study large-scale structure formation, the physics of diffuse astrophysical plasmas, and dark matter on megaparsec scales. A better understanding is needed of cluster masses, which rely critically on knowledge of cluster astrophysics, as well as biases and limitations of various measurement methods. This conference provides the opportunity for the astrophysical community to critically examine how all mass estimators can be combined for maximum accuracy in galaxy cluster mass estimation.This workshop will be an excellent opportunity for young astrophysicists to gain information and for them to interact with more experienced researchers in an informal setting. The Scientific Organizing Committee has taken care to include key representatives from underrepresented groups in the invitation list.

星系团是灵敏的宇宙学探测器，可以用来研究大尺度结构的形成、漫射天体物理等离子体的物理以及兆秒尺度的暗物质。需要更好地了解星系团质量，这严重依赖于星系团天体物理知识，以及各种测量方法的偏差和局限性。这次会议为天体物理界提供了一个机会，让他们认真研究如何将所有质量估计器结合在一起，以便在星系团质量估算中获得最大的精确度。这次研讨会将是年轻的天体物理学家获得信息和在非正式环境中与更有经验的研究人员互动的绝佳机会。科学组织委员会小心翼翼地将代表人数不足的团体的主要代表列入邀请名单。
