The Gravity Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) is organizing its 6th Conference on Gravitation entitled “Gravity and Cosmology: Searching for Concordance” in Stavanger, Norway, from 1-3 Jun 2026. It will bring together a broad cross section of researchers working on the gravity-cosmology interface, in a combination not found at more specialized meetings. The main aim is to exchange views on what are feasible and promising ways forward and explore how they relate to each other.
Our keynote speakers are leading experts on numerical and mathematical relativity, modified gravity, quantum cosmology, cosmography, gravitational wave cosmology, cosmological tensions, backreaction and phase transitions, and on foundational aspects. They are
* Martin Bojowald (Penn State)
* Chris Clarkson (Queen Mary)
* Ed Copeland (Nottingham)
* Eleonora Di Valentino (Sheffield)
* Ruth Durrer (Geneva)
* Grigorios Fournodavlos (Crete)
* Mark Hindmarsh (Helsinki)
* Alexander Kamenshchik (Bologna)
* Sofie Marie Koksbang (Odense)
* Marek Lewicki (Warsaw)
* Eugene Lim (King’s College)
* David Mota (Oslo)
* Nataliya Porayko (Bonn) – tbc
* Zoe Wyatt (Cambridge)
We aim for an interactive meeting and for constructive and respectful dialogue, including organized sessions on future challenges and opportunities. We invite the submission of abstracts for contributed talks and posters and encourage especially junior researcher to participate.
