Venue

Nordita: 4205, floor 4 (conference room), Stockholm, Sweden

Scope

This workshop brings together experts in theory, cosmological data analysis, and particle cosmology to explore how fundamental physics can be probed with current and upcoming observations. Hosted at the Oskar Klein Centre in collaboration with Nordita, the meeting aims to foster close interaction between theory and data, with a strong emphasis on open questions and emerging methodologies. The program is designed to be of particular interest to both communities, encouraging exchange between observational and theoretical perspectives.

A central goal of the workshop is to stimulate collaboration and brainstorming on recent and future developments in cosmology.

The program will feature contributions from local researchers, and will be structured around thematic discussion sessions rather than traditional long talks.

Special Guests

  • Eiichiro Komatsu (MPA Munich)
  • Takeshi Kobayashi (SISSA, Trieste)
  • Chiara Animali (Louvain U. and LPENS, Paris)

Schedule

10:00-12:20 Talks by local researchers
12:20-14:00 Lunch
14:00-16:00 Moderated discussion session with Chiara Animali, Azi Fattahi, Ariel Goobar, Takeshi Kobayashi, and Eiichiro Komatsu
16:00-18:00 Social event (pizza and beer)

 

In the afternoon discussion session, the panelists will provide us with their take on the "Most exciting or controversial developments in cosmology for the next 5-10 years", followed by a general discussion involving both the panel and the audience.

Registration

The registration and abstract submission is currently open. We highly encourage early-career researchers to submit an abstract for a contributed short talk (10 minutes + 5 minutes for questions).

The deadline for abstract submission is 10 April (and full consideration will be given to all abstracts received by that date).
The registration closes on April 17.
