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.
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.
