DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Chun-Hsien Wu (Soochow University)\n\nAsia-Pacific S
 chool and Workshop on Gravitation and Cosmology 2022\n\nMar 19~22\, 2022\n
 \n\nGeneral relativity has set a formidable benchmark for studying the cha
 racteristics of spacetime and its connections to the material world. The r
 emarkable findings in cosmology and astrophysics\, such as the expansion o
 f the Universe\, gravitational lensing\, black holes\, and gravitational w
 aves not only change the conventional wisdom about the Mother Nature\, but
  also pave the way for exploring the foundation of physics. However\, new 
 discoveries in recent years\, including the Hubble tension\, the enigmas r
 egarding dark energy and dark matter\, have requested further intellectual
  dedication and investigation to respond such profound challenges.\n\nWe h
 ave had a series of annual school/workshop on these topics since 2007 in T
 aidong\, Taiwan\, with the most recent version being held at Center for Th
 eoretical Physics of the Universe\, Institute for Basic Science\, Daejeon\
 , Korea\, Feb 2020. Unfortunately the school and workshop in 2021 was canc
 elled  due to Covid-19. APSW 2022 will be a virtual meeting.\n\nThe schoo
 l/workshop aims to promote understanding in frontier issues in gravitation
  and cosmology\, to put forth a new idea\, and to introduce and propose ch
 allenging problems to young physicists. \n\nThis program consists of two 
 parts. In the school\, invited lecturers deliver a series of lectures from
  introductory to research level to help students and junior researchers to
  grasp the essence of the cutting-edge developments. In the workshop\, par
 ticipants are expected to give presentations on the recent developments in
  gravitation and cosmology and are encouraged to have intensive discussion
 s and establish collaborations.\n\nThe topics to be covered by the school/
 workshop include\n\n\n	Gravitational waves\n	Numerical relativity\n	Black 
 hole physics\n	Cosmic microwave background\n	Inflationary universe\n	Dark 
 matter and dark energy\n	Quantum gravity\n\n\n \n\nInvited Lecturers\n\nY

 onal wave physics and Multi-messenger astronomy"\n\nDavid Kubiznak\, Charl
