The conference will cover recent advances in the study of gravity and matter across scales, from cosmological tests of dark matter to direct detection experiments and multi-frequency probes of gravity.
The scientific programme comprises invited plenary presentations (45'+15'), contributions presented in topical parallel sessions (15'+5') and posters.
Plenary talks
Morning sessions will be devoted to invited plenary talks by leading experts. These presentations are conceived to offer clear and accessible overviews of the main topics of the conference, fostering a shared perspective and encouraging interaction among all participants, independently of their specific background.
Keynote speakers (confirmed so far):
- N. Fornengo (Universita' di Torino, Italy)
- S. Vegetti (Max Planck Insitute for Astrophysics, Germany)
- S. Simons (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, USA)
- A. Newman (Carnegie Science, USA)
Parallel sessions and posters presentation
Three focused parallel sessions will address ongoing efforts and future directions in:
- constraining dark matter and dark energy through astrophysical observations
- the physics of gravitational waves from binary systems
- the search for new physics via the detection of dark matter candidates beyond the Standard Model and ultra-high-frequency gravitational waves.
