Cosmic Explorer Symposium and Physics and Astrophysics at the eXtreme workshop (PAX-X) at UIUC from 30 June – 3 July 2025

The 10th Physics and Astrophysics at the eXtreme workshop (PAX X) and the 3rd Cosmic Explorer Symposium will be held jointly at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 30 June – 3 July 2025.

The Cosmic Explorer Symposium will bring together the community to discuss important aspects of the design and operations of the Cosmic Explorer gravitational-wave observatories, covering both observational and instrument science.
The PAX-X workshop will explore how the ongoing and upcoming observations of gravitational and electromagnetic waves can help us understand physics at the extreme — strong gravitational fields, dark matter, nuclear physics, cosmology, and multimessenger astrophysics.

Panels will be organized around a small number of presentations to identify important areas for research and foster discussions and community feedback.

Registration will open shortly.
