The CoCoNuT Meeting is a series of workshops aimed at fostering collaboration among relativistic astrophysics groups, especially within Europe. The series has been taking place yearly since 2009, and this edition will be hosted at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom)

This edition will focus on Magnetohydrodynamics, particularly in the context of core-collapse supernovae, neutron star mergers, and magnetars. The different topics will be introduced by the invited speakers, followed by contributed talks

There will also be a day-0 Workshop on the 8th of September about machine learning applications in numerical relativity, jointly organised with members of the CPP-UKNR community. During registration, please mention if you want to attend only the workshop or the CoCoNuT meeting, or both. 

The workshop and the meeting will be fully in-person. It will take place at the Mathematical Sciences Student Centre (Building 56) of the University of Southampton. Please note that the venue has a maximum capacity of 80 participants; early registration is therefore strongly encouraged.
