Quantum Gravity and Cosmology 2026, February 9-13, Bologna
Quantum Gravity and Cosmology 2026, February 9-13, Bologna The goal of the workshop is to bring together the experts working on different UV complete approaches to quantum gravity, from string theory to various perturbative and non-perturbative approaches. Given the promising opportunity to probe quantum gravity effects in the very early Universe with future CMB and gravitational wave experiments, we expect the in-depth discussions on predictions and self-consistency of low- energy effective theories on top of cosmological backgrounds.

Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity, July 13-15 2026, Southampton
Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity, July 13-15 2026, Southampton The International Conference „Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity“ aims to bring together scientists working across the different research fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and modified gravity. We want to look at the dark matter problem from different perspectives, considering it to be of particle nature, as well as modification of gravity. This meeting is intended to initiate cross-field discussions of dark matter searches, their current status, and future prospects. Conference Website
