COVID-19 information for PI Residents and Visitors

Conference Date: 
Monday, June 20, 2011 (All day) to Saturday, July 16, 2011 (All day)
Scientific Areas: 
Cosmology
Quantum Fields and Strings
Quantum Gravity

 

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:

 

Holographic Cosmology v2.0

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.

 

 

Researchers listed here will be participating in the informal workshop period. See the conference webpages for a complete listing of the participants in those meetings.
