This workshop will be on Dec 11-13, 2023 at the beautiful location of the Botanic Garden of Sapienza University of Rome, located in Trastevere. It will bring together experts on early universe cosmology, primordial black hole formation and evolution, and gravitational-wave science to discuss how the PBH scenario confronts with current and future data.
The program will include discussion sessions and slots for contibuted talks, in particular for young scientists. The dealine for abstract submission is Oct 31st.
No registration fee.
The venue can accomodate up to 90 people, therefore we encourage to register in advance: according to the availability of places registrations will be accepted up to Dec 1st.
On Tuesday 12 December (3pm) a special event will be helded at the Enrico Fermi Study and Research Center (CREF):
The Nature of Time: an open question betwen Physics and Philosophy
We are looking forward to see you in Rome to present your work and get involved in stimulating discussions.
