  • Universe Unravelled: Cosmic Strings at 50, September 1-5, 2026 in Cambridge

    Universe Unravelled: Cosmic Strings at 50, September 1-5, 2026 in Cambridge In a seminal paper in 1976, Tom Kibble first proposed the notion of cosmic strings, and a rich legacy of research in the field has followed over the past fifty years. A central goal of this Universe Unravelled workshop will be to revisit unresolved questions about cosmic strings that underpin predictions for cosmological observables, ranging from gravitational wave signals to axion masses. The workshop is intended to prioritise discussion with ample time to develop collaborative directions that could advance these outstanding challenges.

  • From Quantum Gravity to Cosmology, September 28 – October 2, 2026 in Kashiwa

    From Quantum Gravity to Cosmology, September 28 – October 2, 2026 in Kashiwa This workshop will bring together researchers in quantum gravity and cosmology to discuss major open questions at the interface between the two fields. Although the CDM model has been remarkably successful, increasingly precise cosmological observations have also brought a number of challenges and tensions into sharper focus. At the same time, substantial progress in quantum gravity, particularly in its applications to cosmology, has opened new possibilities for investigating the quantum origin of the universe and for seeking a more fundamental understanding of both the successes and the possible limitations of the standard cosmological model.

  • 10th Roma International Conference on Astroparticle Physics, September 7-11 2026

    10th Roma International Conference on Astroparticle Physics, September 7-11 2026 The 10th edition of the Conference will be hosted by the Sapienza University of Roma. The aim of the Conference will be to present and discuss some of the most relevant theoretical and experimental results in the field of high energy cosmic radiations (gamma, neutrinos, charged cosmic rays). Special attention will be paid to the multi-messenger search for high energy cosmic rays sources, including gravitational wave searches. Conference Website

  • PhD Position – Prospective Environmental and Economic Assessment of a Data Center for the Einstein Telescope in Jülich

    15.07.2026 PhD Position – Prospective Environmental and Economic Assessment of a Data Center for the Einstein Telescope in Jülich At the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2), we investigate how sustainable, climate-neutral energy systems can be designed. To this end, the Department of Circular Economy researches and develops innovative methods and tools for a holistic assessment of upcoming technologies and circular economy concepts. To map these systematically, methods for (prospective) Life Cycle Sustainability Assessments (LCSA) are continuously being refined. In addition to minimizing environmental impacts and waste streams while maximizing resource efficiency, we analyze societal impacts and economic implications. Start Date: To the next possible…
