The Department of Astronomy at the University of Science and Technology of China and the CAS Key Laboratory of Cosmology and Galaxy, will host the annual NSFC "Galaxies and Quasars" Innovation Group Workshop Series - 2016 CfA@USTC Junior Symposium on Gravitation and Cosmology from April 1st to 4th at the city of Hefei. All young experts in relevant fields are most welcome.
Gravitation and cosmology are frontier subjects in the research of fundamental physics and astrophysics. They are tightly correlated through various astronomical and cosmological observations, and hence, have attracted a lot of interest of young researchers. In particular, since February 11 of 2016, the LIGO/Virgo terms announced the observation of gravitational waves emitted from binary black holes, which has initiated a new era for the study of gravitation and cosmology. In order to improve academic interactions of young scholars in related fields, we hereby organize this meeting and call for oral talks and posters to report the latest progresses on a number of hot topics including gravitational waves, dark matter/dark energy, black holes, early universe, perturbation theory, holography, quantum gravity, and so on.
