DESCRIPTION:International Symposium on Cosmology & Particle Astrophysics 2
 026\;13th Australasian Conference on General Relativity & Gravitation\nThe
  International Symposium on Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA2026
 ) and the 13th Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitati
 on (ACGRG13) will be held jointly\, bringing together two complementary sc
 ientific communities. CosPA2026 is part of an annual conference series org
 anized in the Asia-Pacific region under the Asia Pacific Organization of C
 osmology and Particle Astrophysics (APCosPA○)\, while ACGRG13\, convened
  by the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (ASGRG
 ♢)\, is a biennial forum for regional researchers in all areas gravitati
 onal physics from mathematical relativity to experimental gravitational wa
 ve detection.\nTogether\, these meetings aim to unite theorists\, experime
 ntalists\, and observers working across gravitation\, particle physics\, c
 osmology\, astrophysics\, and astroparticle physics. Participants will eng
 age in discussions on the latest observations\, theoretical developments\,
  and emerging directions in these intersecting fields.\nKey areas of focus
  include:\n  • Classical and Quantum Theories of Gravity  • Cosmolog
 y  • Radio Astronomy  • Gravitational Waves  • Dark Matter  • 
 Neutrino Physics  • Relativistic Astrophysics  • Mathematical and Nu
 merical Relativity\n \n\nInvited Speakers include:\n  • Sebastián Bah
 amonde (IBS\, Daejon)\n\n  • Nicole Bell (U Melbourne)  • Krzysztof 
 Bolejko (U Tasmania)  • Torsten Bringmann (U Oslo)\n  • Richard East
 her (U Auckland)‡  • Roy Kerr (U Canterbury)*  • Jun Luo (Sun Yat-
 sen U)  • Jiwoo Nam (National Taiwan U)  • Kenny Ng (Chinese U of Ho
 ng Kong)  • Jade Powell (Swinburne U)  • Misao Sasaki (Tokyo U)  
 • Volker Schlue (U Melbourne)  • Seon-Hee Seo (Fermilab)  • Arman 
 Shafieloo (KASI)  • Hirotaka Takahashi (Tokyo City U)\n  • Bin Wang 
 (Yangzhou U & Shanghai Jiao Tong U)\n\n \n‡ = public lecture speaker\n\

 ly Members\n\n ♢ASGRG Committee\n\n \nThe meeting will be held in-pers
 on only\, at University of Canterbury\, Christchurch\, New Zealand\, on Ju
 ly 5--9\, 2026.\n \n \n\nREGISTRATION IS OPEN until June 10.\n \nAbstra
 ct submission for talks is now CLOSED. We will continue to accept abstract
  submission for Posters until registration closes.\n\n \nEarly bird fee r
 egistration deadline: extended to May 11.\nLate registration deadline: Jun
 e 10.\n\n \n\n\n \n\nPAUCHY AWARD:\nThe inaugural Pauchy Award for Early
  Career Researchers will be presented at CosPA 2026 in Christchurch. Appli
 cations for the award were invited from postdocs or graduate students in t
 he Asia-Pacific regions in the fields of astronomy\, astrophysics\, cosmol
 ogy\, and particle physics. Further details of eligibility and the nominat
 ion procedure are available here. Applications for the award are closed.\n
 The Pauchy Award winner has now been selected\, and will present a talk on
  their research and receive the award at CosPA 2026/ACGRG13.\n\n \n \n\n
  \nACCOMMODATION SCAM WARNING:\nParticipants are kindly asked to find the
 ir own accommodation for the conference. Please beware of unsolicited emai
