CosmoGravitas II

The first CosmoGravitas conference, held in June 2024, was successfully organized with strong international participation and highly positive academic feedback. The event demonstrated the growing interest and research activity in cosmology and gravitation, and significantly strengthened international collaboration networks.

Building on this established foundation, the second CosmoGravitas conference aims to further expand international engagement and deepen research cooperation in fundamental physics. The meeting will bring together leading experts in cosmology and gravitation to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and explore new directions in theoretical and observational research.

Particular emphasis will be placed on recent developments in gravitational wave physics, alternative theories of gravity, and both early- and late-time cosmology. The conference will cover the following major themes:

1.     Early Universe
2.     Dark Energy and Modified Gravity
3.     Dark Matter
4.     Gravitational Waves and Black Holes
5.     Classical and Quantum Gravity

Given the rapid development in these areas, particularly after the detection of gravitational waves and the increasing precision of cosmological observations, an international platform for scientific exchange is both timely and essential.
