CosmoVerseWorkshop@Naples (21 May – 23 May 2025)
This is the first CosmoVerse workshop and aims to bring together observational cosmologists working in probing systematics and in connecting survey physics with the exploration of fundamental physics. The workshop will provide a forum for discussions on different aspects of observational cosmology and how they may connect with the open question of cosmic tensions. One of the core goals of the CosmoVerse Network is to connect observational cosmologists with data analysts and researchers developing new fundamental physics in order to understand how they may nuance the question of cosmic tensions. This workshop will bring those communities together. In order to encourage collaboration and the exchange of concrete ideas, the workshop is being limited to 40 participants.
This workshop is organized within the COST Action initiative CA21136 – Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics (CosmoVerse). Learn more about CosmoVerse action at https://cosmoversetensions.eu/
The CosmoVerse Network has held two conferences CosmoVerse@Lisbon and CosmoVerse@Krakow which were held in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and there was also a School held in 2024 called CosmoVerseSchool@Corfu.
This workshop aims to establish a link between the different research areas in observational cosmology with a main focus on possible systematics in recent surveys, and how they connect to the challenges of tensions in cosmological survey data. It will have a format with a limited number of talks, and a strong focus on discussions, as well as time for collaborative work.
The workshop is organized together with Scuola Superiore Meridionale and INFN in Naples.
