  • Massive Black Hole Spin Workshop, April 21-24 2026, Edinburgh

    Massive Black Hole Spin Workshop, April 21-24 2026, Edinburgh Astrophysical black holes can be entirely described by just two properties: their mass and their spin. While masses of black holes have been extensively studied, black hole spin remains poorly understood. This is because spin is both much more difficult to observe and more complex to model. Nevertheless, spin is no less integral to the evolution of massive black holes over time, and the role they play in shaping their host galaxies. Workshop Website

  • Listening to the Cosmos: New Frontiers in Gravitational Wave PhysicsAug 24 – Sep 26, 2026, Firenze

    Listening to the Cosmos: New Frontiers in Gravitational Wave Physics, Aug 24 – Sep 26, 2026, Firenze The first detection of gravitational waves from the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra collaboration and the recent results of several pulsar timing arrays have opened the exploration of the gravitational wave Universe. Over the next decade, several other ground and space-based experiments will join this exploration and allow us to access a broad band of the gravitational wave spectrum. This new exploration comes with a series of challenges that can only be overcome through close collaboration between experimentalists and theorists. This workshop will bring together experts working on the experiments enabling this exploration, as well as particle…
