Kavli-IAU Global Coordination Workshop (GCW) “International Coordination of the Time – Domain and Multi-Messenger Sky: New Opportunities and New Challenges”, Görlitz, Germany, 22-26 June 2026
Kavli-IAU Global Coordination Workshop (GCW) “International Coordination of the Time – Domain and Multi-Messenger Sky: New Opportunities and New Challenges”, Görlitz, Germany, 22-26 June 2026 The workshop, to be hosted at the new German Centre for Astrophysics (DZA) in June 2026, builds on the highly successful Kavli-IAU Global Coordination Workshop series. This will bring together approximately 50 astronomers and astrophysicists from around the world to discuss the global considerations of time-domain astronomy and multimessenger astrophysics. The drivers for these areas over the next decade will be large, international projects which require prompt and coordinated follow-up of new astronomical discoveries that may disappear in just a few days, or even sooner.…

Tales of Black Holes – International Doctoral Summer School on Advanced Black Hole Physics, June 29 – July 3, 2026, Granada
Tales of Black Holes – International Doctoral Summer School on Advanced Black Hole Physics, June 29 – July 3, 2026, Granada Black holes are among the most fascinating objects in the universe. From cosmological, galactic and stellar scales, where black holes are integral pieces in the formation and evolution of different structures, to microscopic scales, where the study of the fabric of spacetime and black hole interiors are interrelated, black holes are ubiquitous in all research areas in which gravity is a prominent actor. A proper understanding of many aspects of modern physics requires being familiar with the concept of black hole; conversely, comprehending black holes in all their dimensions…

Causalworlds 2026: The 3rd International Conference on Quantum, Classical, and Relativistic Causality, June 22-26, 2026,Grenoble
Causalworlds 2026: The 3rd International Conference on Quantum, Classical, and Relativistic Causality, June 22-26, 2026, Grenoble Understanding causality is foundational to science and has wide-ranging applications, yet there are several distinct notions of causation. Recently, there have been important developments on the role of causality in quantum physics, relativistic physics and their interplay. These have unearthed a plethora of deep and fascinating questions regarding the nature of causation in physical theories, emergence of space-time structure and how relativistic principles can shape the landscape of quantum information processing.
