The Cosmic Rhythms workshop aims to bring together international experts to discuss challenges in the upcoming era of high-precision cosmology, with a particular focus on large-scale structure, the CMB and their cross-correlations.
Topics will include data analysis, statistical methods, and theoretical modeling in light of the latest observations challenging the LCDM paradigm. We are aiming to an interactive workshop, with ample time for discussions, and a moderate number of participants.
The workshop will take place on the 8 to 12 of September 2026 at the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (CBPF) in Rio de Janeiro. CBPF is one of Brazil’s leading cosmology institutes, offering a fantastic setting near the Sugarloaf Mountain and just a few minutes from Copacabana Beach.
Participation & Contributions
Participation in the workshop is limited. Interested participants must apply to attend via the Indico registration form.
Scientific contributions will be selected from submitted abstracts. Accepted contributions may be presented either as oral talks or as posters. Poster presenters will also be invited to give a fire slide, consisting of a short 3-minute presentation to advertise their poster and highlight their research interests.
Important dates:
- 15th of January: Registration and abstract submission opening
- 15th of March: Deadline for registration and abstract submission
- 15th of April: Selection of speakers and scientific program
Registration fees:
1000 reais (~185 USD), to be confirmed depending on available fundings.
