Joint ERC (HoloQosmos) Solvay-Perimeter-APC Workshop on "Cosmological Frontiers in Fundamental Physics"

Workshop

The workshop is part of a series organized jointly by the International Solvay Institutes, Laboratoire APC (University Paris VII, France) and the Perimeter Institute (Waterloo, Canada). The series aims to discuss, in an informal setting, recent developments at the interface of cosmology and fundamental physics. The previous edition was held by the Perimeter Institute in June 2016. 

NB: Two other workshops on closely related topics are organized by the Solvay Institutes in the continuous week, please see the links below:

“Infrared Physics: Asymptotic & BMS symmetry, soft theorems, memory, information paradox and all that”.

“Holography”.
