Multi-Messenger Astrophysics in the Dynamic Universe, January 26 - February 27, 2026 at YITP Kyoto University
Astrophysics has finally entered a new era, transitioning from the multi-wavelength observation approach of the 20th century to the era of multi-messenger observations. The discovery of the binary neutron star merger event GW170817 in 2017 marked the beginning of this shift, as it was first detected through a gravitational wave and gamma-ray burst, followed by electromagnetic counterparts observed across various wavelengths, including X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio. In addition to gravitational waves, significant advancements have also been made in other multi-messenger signals, such as high-energy neutrinos and high-energy gamma rays. Traditional X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio observations are not only achieving higher sensitivities but are also making great strides in discovery science through time-domain astronomy, focusing on transient events.

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.

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 requires extensive knowledge in diverse branches of physics, including geometry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, quantum field theory and numerical analysis.
