XX Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation
The Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation (BSCG) is a traditional international school for graduate students, postdocs and researchers in the fields of Gravitation, Cosmology, and related areas, featuring foundational courses, as well as advanced seminars. It has been held in Brazil since 1978, and it has since played a fundamental role in the formation and development of research groups in Cosmology, Gravitation and Astrophysics in Brazil, as well as many international scientific collaborations. Some of the past speakers of the school were Evgeny Lifshitz, Bryce DeWitt, Yvone de Choquet-Bruhat, Rocky Kolb, Claudio Teitelboim, George Ellis, John Ellis, David Schram, George Smoot, Werner Israel, Larry Ford, Robert Brandenberger, Slava Mukhanov, Jorge Pullin, Luca Amendola, William Unruh, Alexei Starobinsky, François Bouchet, among many others.
This edition will continue to contemplate aspects of the quantum and early Universe, while also discussing new cosmological probes and observational findings. Pedro Vieira, Guilherme Pimentel, Cliff Burgess, Elisabeth Krause, and Konstantin Leyde will give lecture series throughout the week. The programme will also feature seminars by Karín Menendez-Delmestre, Alexandre Le Tiec, Wentao Luo, Farinaldo Queiroz, Nabila Aghanim and Jailson Alcaniz. Elisabeth Krause and Pedro Vieira will also deliver public colloquia, and the programme will include a round table and daily flash-talk sessions.
