The main goal of ModIC 2025 is to connect cosmological scenarios and the most promising alternative dark energy models with a broad set of complementary astrophysical observations, with a particular focus on next-generation Gravitational Wave (GW) observatories such as the Einstein Telescope (ET).
To this end, we bring together a group of international experts belonging to three scientific communities: theorists and experts on model-independent cosmological inference; experts on GW and multi-messenger (MM) astrophysics with high-energy (HE) γ-ray observations; experts on large-scale structure (LSS) probes of cosmology.
The first specific scientific objective is the application of innovative data analysis and interpretation techniques in preparation for the upcoming era of GW precision cosmology.
The second specific scientific objective is a rigorous scrutiny of the most promising alternative theoretical models beyond the standard cosmological model, thoroughly exploring their phenomenology.
The third specific objective is the application of innovative statistical and computational approaches, particularly Machine Learning and Neural Network techniques, to fully exploit the synergies between ET and a wide range of complementary astrophysical and cosmological observations.
