The 1st Arica School of Cosmology and Gravitation provides a comprehensive introduction to the current state of research in modern theoretical physics, cosmology, and gravitation. It is intended for graduate students, early-career researchers, and non-expert researchers looking to deepen their understanding of the field.
Held in the coastal city of Arica, Chile, from 13–16 October, the school combines intensive lectures, research presentations, and collaborative discussions. The program aims to foster international collaboration, build essential skills in theoretical cosmology, and establish a lasting research network among participants.
