From astrophysics to high-energy physics, from information theory to quantum gravity, black holes have acquired an ever increasing role in fundamental physics, and are now part of the terminology of many important branches of observational, theoretical and mathematical physics.
The Black Holes Workshops gather researchers working on physical and mathematical problems of black holes, both in their classical and quantum aspects, as well as their connections to general relativity and gravitation, string theory, cosmology, and astrophysics, and stimulate the interaction between all these issues.
The workshop will take place at the University of Minho, in December 17 and 18, 2026. Researchers on black holes in all their aspects are invited to participate. Registration for the event will start on September 14th and end on November 30th. The deadline to submit abstracts is November 21st. A limited number of accepted contributions will be selected, taking into account their scientific merit. Submissions of abstracts after the deadline will not be allowed. Please follow the registration instructions.
In this edition there will be no registration fee for participants.
