Ripples Through Time: Past Triumphs, Mapping the Future, November 25-27, 2026 at UWA Perth Celebrating 50 years of gravitational wave research, science education, and future innovation A century ago gravitational wave detection was thought to be impossible. Fifty years ago it was the quest of a small bunch of intrepid physicists. They faced challenge after challenge, but their optimism persisted. They uncovered new physics, invented novel instruments and new techniques. New disciplines like quantum optomechanics, space laser communication, clock technology and airborne exploration technologies emerged from their efforts. Year after year they overcame setbacks, never imagining that it would take 40 years of struggle to achieve their quest. Symposium Website

Gravitational Waves at the Fin del Mundo, January 11-22 2027, Universidad Central La Serena Join us for the 4th Gravitational Wave School in Chile (January 11-15), continuing a proud tradition of training a new generation of latin-american scientists in this growing and exciting research field. This time, the event will be followed by the international conference Gravitational Waves at the Fin del Mundo (January 18-22), inviting world-leading experts in strong-field gravitational physics and astrophysics.

Ringdown in Lisbon, October 19-21, 2026 In the last year, the realm of black hole quasi-normal modes have been more vibrant than ever. The large number of updates is recognisable in the rise of a vibrant, young and motivated community that is pushing the boundaries of where we can test the nature of black holes with gravitational waves observations. The aim of this workshop is to give a space to this community for relaxed discussion session and fostering the birth of collaborations. Workshop Website

8th Black Hole Nepal Meeting, October 12-16 2026 in Kathmandu The 8th BH Nepal meeting: Many Faces of Stellar-Mass Black Holes, which will take place in Kathmandu, Nepal, on 12-16 October 2026. The aim of the conference is to bring together theorists and observers to discuss recent progress in the study of stellar-mass black holes, their formation and evolution, and their observational signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum and beyond.

CoCoNuT Meeting 2026, September 8-11 at University of Southampton The CoCoNuT Meeting is a series of workshops aimed at fostering collaboration among relativistic astrophysics groups, especially within Europe. The series has been taking place yearly since 2009, and this edition will be hosted at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom). Meeting Website

The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Nucleosynthesis in Neutron-Star Mergers and Supernovae, September 21-25 2026 in Trento ECT*-EMMI/GSI workshop . Neutron-star mergers and core-collapse supernovae are among the most promising sites for the synthesis of heavy elements in the universe. These astrophysical phenomena bring together a rich interplay of general relativity, neutrino physics, nuclear reactions, and magneto-hydrodynamics. Among these factors, magnetic fields are increasingly recognized as playing a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics and nucleosynthetic outcomes of these events. Workshop Website

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

SIGRAV International School 2026: Neutron Stars: Modelling and Detection, February 16-20 in Vietri sul Mare This edition of the Italian Society of General Relativity and Gravitation (SIGRAV) International School is dedicated to the study of neutron stars as outstanding sources of gravitational and electromagnetic waves in the strong-field regime. The program is structured to promote scholarly interaction and collaboration, offering participants the opportunity to engage with leading experts in the field. Through a series of advanced lectures and discussions, the School aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of current developments in gravitational research and to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to advance their own scientific work in…
