The Corfu - IBS Workshop "Gravity and Cosmology by the Sea" is co-organized by the IAASARS of National Observatory of Athens, the Cosmology, Gravity and Astroparticle Physics Group of the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe (Institute for Basic Science) in Daejeon, South Korea, the PDE of Ionian Islands, the Mathematical Physics and Computational Statistics Research Laboratory of Ionian University, the Center for Space Research of North-West University, the Institute of System Science of Durban University of Technology and the Institute for Space Sciences and Astronomy of the University of Malta.
The Venue of the Workshop is located at the Venetian Salt Warehouses hosted by the Environmental Education Center (K.E.P.E.A Corfu) in Lefkimmi located in South Corfu, in September 7-11, 2026.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different areas of theoretical, observational and mathematical physics to discuss recent developments in gravity and cosmology. The workshop encourages the exchange of ideas, in-depth discussion of modern theoretical approaches, the presentation of new results, and collaboration leading to joint research activities.
To allow meaningful interaction, only a few talks will be scheduled, leaving plenty of time for discussion and hands on collaboration among participants. In particular, thematic groups of 5-10 participants guided by one chairperson will be formed, with the goal of initiating one on more publications. Additionally, the workshop scientific results will be published in a White Paper, with all participants as co-authors.
The topics of the workshop, and the corresponding thematic groups, are:
