Scientific Programme

The programme of the conference will contain 5 plenary morning sessions and 3 parallel sessions each afternoon. The last day of the conference (Saturday) will contain a morning session only and will be devoted to philosophical aspects of the variability of physical constants and the frontiers of physics and cosmology.

There will also be a poster session if the number of abstracts will be above our talk time capabilities. The oral presentations will be selected by the session conveners in collaboration with the Organizing Committee.

The topics of the parallel sessions:

  • Varying constants – theory

    (Convener: Mikhail Kozlov)

  • Varying constants – laboratory experiments

    (Convener: Ekkehard Peik)

  • Varying constants – astronomical observations

    (Convener: Michael Murphy)

  • Quantum gravity and cosmology

    (Convener: Mariam Bouhmadi-López)

  • Quantum entanglement and many-worlds interpretation

    (Convener: Sugumi Kanno)

  • Multiverse

    (Convener: Salvador Robles-Pérez)

  • Modifications of gravity
