Advancing gravitational wave predictions from cosmological first-order phase transitions, August 25–29 2025 at CERN
As the detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background from the early universe becomes increasingly promising, signals from hypothetical first-order phase transitions are attracting growing interest. Predicting these signals often requires the solution of plasma dynamics at macroscopic scales, which, in turn, depends on the phenomena that characterize the phase transition at microscopic scales. Therefore, various assumptions on distinctive scales and their separation are usually employed to enable concrete evaluations. Workshop Website

Nonlinear Black Hole Perturbation Theory: Merging Black Holes, Communities and Ideas, September 15-17 2025 at University of Nottingham
Nonlinear Black Hole Perturbation Theory: Merging Black Holes, Communities and Ideas, September 15-17 2025 at University of Nottingham Black hole perturbation theory has been a key driver of theoretical gravity research since the 1960s, illuminating aspects of quantum gravity, information theory, gravitational-wave science, and the fundamental nature of black holes. It has played a particularly important role in two areas: self-force theory, used to model asymmetric binaries such as extreme-mass-ratio inspirals; and ringdown studies of dynamical black holes, such as occurs after a black hole merger.
