Perimeter will be hosting a month-long program focused on addressing fundamental issues in cosmology, eg, the nature of the big-bang, the initial conditions and fate of the universe. The program will bring together leading researchers working in cosmology, string theory and quantum gravity to work together on these topics. The program will include two conferences:
June 21-24, 2011
Challenges for Early Universe Cosmology
July 12-16, 2011
In particular, outside participants are encouraged to apply for the end conference before May 31. During the two weeks between these meetings, Perimeter will be hosting a number visiting researchers working in an informal workshop atmosphere.
