Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that applications are open for the “GGI school on asymptotic symmetries and flat holography” that will take place in Florence from May 19 to May 23, 2025:

https://www.ggi.infn.it/showevent.pl?id=511

The school is designed for students and postdocs eager to explore cutting-edge developments in gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes. The program will explore the rich interplay between asymptotic symmetries in General Relativity, scattering amplitudes, and gravitational wave observables. Participants will also be introduced to twistor theory and to the emerging fields of celestial and Carrollian holography. Each topic will be presented through four to five hours of lectures, offering a comprehensive introduction for young researchers in the field.

Topics and lecturers:
– Amplitudes, waveforms and memory effects: Carlo Heissenberg
– Asymptotic Symmetries: Simone Speziale
– Celestial Holography: Ana-Maria Raclariu and Sabrina Pasterski
– Carroll Physics for Holography: Yannick Herfray
– Twistor approach to asymptotic symmetries and flat holography: Tim Adamo

The school is part of the activities of the workshop “From Asymptotic Symmetries to Flat Holography: Theoretical Aspects and Observable Consequences” that will take place at Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence from May 19 to Jun 20, 2025. Applications for the workshop will open later thisyear.

To receive full consideration for the school, applications should be received by November 30. Partial financial support can be offered to a limited number of participants, so if you need any form of support please indicate it in the comment section in the application form.

Best regards,
Andrea Campoleoni, Laura Donnay, Dario Francia, Sabrina Pasterski, Andrea Puhm, Simone Speziale
