The 2026 edition of the GECO-LAM conference will discuss the “Extragalactic Transient Universe” at a time of great research opportunities favored by new facilities such the SVOM and Einstein Probe (EP) high-energy missions or the Vera Rubin Observatory, among multiple others. The conference will focus on diverse topics ranging from observations, theory and modeling of the broad population of astronomical transients, through multi-messenger astronomy, to the instrumentation, techniques and data management that are needed to make transient research successful.

Abstract submission opens on 12th of January 2026 and remains open until 27th February 2026. The programme will be published on April, 17th. Registration is already open and will stay open until May 1st. The meeting will be proposed in hybrid format. The conference will count with invited talks, contributed talks, and posters. Registrations fees: [to be announced here]

A social dinner will be organized ; more informations will be given here.

Research topics to be discussed at the conference will include:

• Gamma-Ray Bursts
• Fast Blue Optical Transients
• Core-collapse supernovae
• Tidal Disruption Events
• Fast Radio Bursts
• Exotic transients
• Multi-messenger observations
• Theory and simulations
• Massive stars as progenitors
• Host galaxies
• Instrumentation, surveys, and observational techniques

The International Conference "Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity" aims to bring together scientists working across the different research fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and modified gravity. We want to look at the dark matter problem from different perspectives, considering it to be of particle nature, as well as modification of gravity. This meeting is intended to initiate cross-field discussions of dark matter searches, their current status, and future prospects.

The International Symposium on Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA2026) and the 13th Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (ACGRG13) will be held jointly, bringing together two complementary scientific communities. CosPA2026 is part of an annual conference series organized in the Asia-Pacific region under the Asia Pacific Organization of Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (APCosPA), while ACGRG13, convened by the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation, is a biennial forum for regional researchers in all areas gravitational physics from mathematical relativity to experimental gravitational wave detection.

Together, these meetings aim to unite theorists, experimentalists, and observers working across gravitation, particle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and astroparticle physics. Participants will engage in discussions on the latest observations, theoretical developments, and emerging directions in these intersecting fields.

Key areas of focus include:

• Classical and Quantum Theories of Gravity
• Cosmology
• Radio Astronomy
• Gravitational Waves
• Dark Matter
• Neutrino Physics
• Relativistic Astrophysics
• Mathematical and Numerical Relativity

GW:UK@Nottingham is the first meeting of the GW:UK initiative (website). It will bring together researchers from across the UK involved in gravitational wave science to celebrate 10 years of gravitational wave discoveries (day 1) and to engage in community-building activities (day 2).

Due to the nature of this meeting, we will only offer in person participation. Some funding to cover accommodation and travel expenses for UK-based participants is available. There will be a number of slots available for contributed talks, including flash talks. We especially encourage early career researchers to apply for a slot.

To be considered for financial support and a contributed or flash talk, please complete your registration by 16 December.

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.
