• CosmoVerse@Bilbao 2026, September 15-19

    CosmoVerse@Bilbao 2026, September 15-19 Our understanding of the Universe is at a turning point with the predictions of the standard cosmological model and the observations from different surveys are showing tensions in several key areas. The disagreement is expressed in the value of cosmic expansion as well as in the growth of large-scale structure in the Universe. New cosmological surveys, many of which are European, may expose tension in additional areas of the concordance model. Conference Website

  • Breaking Ground for HAFUN: Hamburg’s New Hub for Fundamental Physics

    20.01.2026 The new research facility will enable innovative experiments in gravitational physics and serve as a platform for global scientific collaboration. Construction of the Hamburg Fundamental Interactions Laboratory (HAFUN) officially began with a ceremonial first groundbreaking. Once completed, the new facility will bring together around 200 researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe, the Department of Physics and the MIN Faculty at the University of Hamburg. They will use cutting-edge infrastructure to explore fundamental questions in particle physics and cosmology. „With HAFUN we are creating ideal laboratories for fundamental research. Special labs for experimental gravitational wave detection on ground and in space are one of the highlights. We will…
