Join us for the next instalment in the prestigious Cosmic Flows conference series, to be held from February 3-7, 2025, all-inclusive at the picturesque Tamborine Mountain Glades (formerly Cedar Creek Lodges) on Tamborine Mountain, Brisbane, Australia.
About the Conference
Cosmic Flows 2025 continues a two-decade tradition of international gatherings dedicated to the study of cosmic flows. Following successful events in Queensland (2012), Marseille (2013), Quy Nhon (2016), and Cape Town (2020), this conference arrives at a pivotal moment in the field of peculiar velocity research.
In the five years since our last meeting, we've witnessed a paradigm shift in peculiar velocity studies. What began as the analysis of a few thousand velocities has evolved into preparation for surveys of unprecedented scale. With SDSS and CF4 data published, WALLABY's initial findings released, DESI poised to unveil groundbreaking data, and the 4HS main survey underway, Cosmic Flows 2025 provides a timely platform to discuss these exciting developments.
Conference Highlights
-
Cutting-Edge Research: Engage in discussions on recent and upcoming direct peculiar velocity results, reconstructions, simulations, cosmological applications, and theories.
-
Collaborative Environment: Our unique venue at Cedar Creek Lodges includes all accomodation, meals and social activities, ensuring all participants stay together, fostering collaboration and increasing interactions.
-
Daily Panel Discussions: Each day will included a themed panel discussion, tackling some of the biggest questions facing cosmology today with our expert panels.
-
Team Building: Daily 3-hour breaks for team building activities chosen by the participants, as well a half-day excursion surrounded by some of Australia's best landscape.
Key Topics
The conference will bring together experts from all pillars of peculiar velocity science, including:
- Direct measurements of peculiar velocities through distance indicators.
- Density and velocity field reconstructions.
- Simulations and theoretical modelling.
- Cosmological applications.
Venue
Tamborine Mountain Glades provides a serene and inspiring backdrop for our discussions. We have secured an excellent all-inclusive rate for this venue which includes accomodation, meals and transport to/from the venue to nearby rails links. This unique setting encourages informal interactions and collaborative thinking, which is essential for pushing the boundaries of our field.
