The purpose of the conference Black Holes & Cosmology is to bring together world-renowned experts as well as junior researchers working on theoretical and observational aspects of black holes, particularly (but not limited to) their rôle in cosmology.
Topics include:
- Dark Matter
- Structure Formation
- Primordial Black Holes
- Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
- Quantum Aspects of Black Holes
This event will take place at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik between the 5th and the 9th of August 2025. We look forward to meet you!
