The event demonstrated the growing interest and research activity in cosmology and gravitation\, and significantly streng thened international collaboration networks.\n\nBuilding on this establish ed foundation\, the second CosmoGravitas conference aims to further expand international engagement and deepen research cooperation in fundamental p hysics. The meeting will bring together leading experts in cosmology and g ravitation to exchange ideas\, foster collaboration\, and explore new dire ctions in theoretical and observational research.\n\nParticular emphasis w ill be placed on recent developments in gravitational wave physics\, alter native theories of gravity\, and both early- and late-time cosmology. The conference will cover the following major themes:\n\n\n     Early Univer se\n     Dark Energy and Modified Gravity\n     Dark Matter\n     Gr avitational Waves and Black Holes\n     Classical and Quantum Gravity\n\ n\nGiven the rapid development in these areas\, particularly after the det ection of gravitational waves and the increasing precision of cosmological observations\, an international platform for scientific exchange is both timely and essential.\n\n------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------\n\nIMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING: Fraudule nt Accommodation Services or Travel Booking Services\n\n \n\nThe Scientif ic Organizing Committee (SOC) of CosmoGravitas II (2026) has been made a ware of fraudulent emails being sent to conference participants regarding accommodation bookings or travel.\n\nPlease be cautious of unauthorized co mmunications from entities claiming to handle hotel reservations for the c onference\, specifically:\n\n\n Sender/Agency Name: Converia Travels\n Em ail Address: logistics@converiatravels.com\n\n\nPlease note the following critical details:\n\n\n No External Agencies: The CosmoGravitas 2026 org anizing committee has not hired or authorized any external travel agency or accommodation service to manage hotel bookings or coordinate with part icipants.\n Direct Bookings Only.\n Protect Your Information: If you are contacted by "Converia Travels" or any other unauthorized third party:\n \ n Do not reply to the email.\n Do not share any personal details\, fin ancial information\, credit card numbers\, or travel details.\n Do not cl ick on any links or make any payments.\n \n \n\n\nIf you receive any susp icious emails or require verification regarding your accommodation and loc al hospitality\, please contact us directly at nandanroy84@gmail.com or  nandan.roy@mahidol.ac.th.\n\n \n\nThank you for your vigilance and coop eration.\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------- -----------\n\nRegistration Fees:\n\n  - Faculty Members and Postdoctoral Fellows: 3\,500 Baht (THB)\n  - Students: 2\,500 Baht (THB)\n\nStudents and postdoctoral fellows can apply for registration fee waiver.\n\nLimited accommodation support is available for selected students or postdoctoral fellows.\n\n\nPlease upload your CV.
