This year marks the 10-years of discovery of Gravitational Waves, which has opened a new window for multi-messenger science. The era of multi-messenger science using signals from astrophysical sources observed in different cosmic messengers such as Cosmic Rays (CRs), Electromagnetic Waves (EW), Gravitational Waves (GW), and Neutrinos opens a new paradigm in understanding the physics governing the Universe over different length scales from the size of a nucleus to the size of the observable Universe. The success of this research frontier relies on the coordinated observation between different existing telescopes/observatories which are observing in different messengers and also on building the next generation telescopes/observatories that can jointly observe signals using different cosmic messengers in the coming years in the frequency range (or energy band) which are of scientific interests based on our theoretical understanding of these astrophysical sources. 

This conference plans to bring researchers from India working in different areas–instrumentation and theory on the same platform to discuss (i) the requirements and challenges in coordinated observations with existing Indian facilities between different messengers, (ii) key areas of development of telescope facilities and theoretical predictions for enhancing the scientific outcome, (iii) the roadmap for joint observations using multiple telescopes, and (iv) plan for strategically important future telescopes/observatories which will enhance multi-messenger science from India.

The conference Black Holes Inside and Out 2027 (BHIO27) will take place at Sapienza University of Rome from August 23 to August 27, 2027.

This event follows the highly successful 2024 edition [https://strong-gr.com/black-holes-inside-and-out/], which brought together leading experts in black hole physics, including astrophysics and observational astronomy, cosmology, data analysis, mathematical and numerical relativity, perturbation theory, and quantum gravity, to discuss the state of the field and its future directions.

Preparations for the 2027 edition are underway, so please save the date! A webpage with all relevant information is under development and will be announced in early 2026.

We would greatly value your input regarding potential topics and speakers for this edition. To contribute suggestions, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/po4h8ifWm3LhvyTs7.

We particularly encourage suggestions outside your main areas of expertise, especially if motivated by an interest in learning more about developments in other branches of black hole physics.

Further information about the conference will be shared in the coming months.

We are delighted to welcome you to the University of Manchester for the following joint programme. 

New windows on Fundamental Physics: from tabletop devices to large scale detectors (20 - 23 Jan)

This will be preceded by a one day UK Astroparticle Phenomenology (UK-APP) meeting (19 Jan).

The main workshop will consist of invited and contributed talks, as well as a poster session including a prize for best poster. The one-day meeting will comprise mainly contributed talks. We strongly encourage contributions for both meetings and welcome submissions from underrepresented groups. The focus of the 4-day meeting will be on tabletop detectors and quantum technologies for fundamental physics (QTFP), including

• Precision metrology & quantum sensing
• Cold atoms and molecules
• Quantum analogues
• Atom interferometry
• 5th force tests
• Axion/WIMP dark matter & dark energy
• Neutrinos
• Gravitational waves
• Tabletop detectors

Note that the total number of participants is limited, and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration will be closed early if capacity is reached.

Current confirmed speakers for the main workshop include:

The 3rd International Online Conference on Universe (IOCU 2026), organized by the MDPI journal Universe (ISSN: 2218-1997, Impact Factor 2.6), will bring together leading experts to share and discuss the latest research across fields such as gravitation and cosmology, field theory, high energy physics, space and planetary sciences, galaxies, stellar physics, quantum mechanics, and many other astrophysics-related topics.

Building on the success of the 2021 and 2023 editions, this exciting conference will provide excellent opportunities to present, network, and collaborate. Additionally, IOCU 2026 will be free to attend and fully online, removing geographical and financial barriers to make participation accessible to students and researchers around the world.

Important Dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: 2 December 2025
Notification of acceptance: 5 January 2026
Deadline for Registration: 1 March 2026

More details, including event chairs, session topics, and submission guidelines, are available on the conference website.

The September LVK Meeting will take place from September 8-12 at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Please register by Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 11:59 pm MST.

The 14th CRIS-MAC Conference will be held in Sorrento from 13 to 17 July 2026.

The Conference is jointly organized by the Department of Physics and Astronomy “E. Majorana” of the University of Catania, and by the Department of Physics and Chemistry “E. Segrè” of the University of Palermo and the Department of Physics “E. Pancini” of the University of Napoli Federico II and by the Catania and Napoli Divisions of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).

As in previous CRIS editions, the conference will focus on fundamental topics in astroparticle physics with special emphasis on the multi-messenger astronomy studies. For this reason the conference acronym has been changed to CRIS-MAC (Cosmic-Ray International Studies and Multi-messenger Astroparticle Conference) while retaining the old CRIS series numbering.
The main focus of the CRIS-MAC conference is the multi messenger aspects of astroparticle physics which naturally includes fields such as cosmic-ray physics, gamma-ray and multi-wavelength astronomy, astrophysical neutrinos and gravitational waves.

The program includes invited lectures, contributed talks, posters and flash talks.

As in the past, the CRIS-MAC 2026 is addressed to scientists in the field as well as to PhD and graduate students. We will encourage lively and informal discussions among participants.
