The Royal Society

Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor James Binney FRS, Dr Roya Mohayaee, Professor John Peacock FRS and Professor Subir Sarkar. Is the universe simple enough to be adequately described by the standard ΛCDM cosmological model which assumes the isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric? Tensions have emerged between the values of cosmological parameters estimated in different ways. Do these tensions signal that our model is too simple? Could a more sophisticated model account for the data without invoking a Cosmological Constant?

Eurostrings is a series of annual conferences gathering researchers from all over Europe and elsewhere, working on string theory, gauge/gravity duality, quantum gravity and quantum field theories, and the relations among them. Previous Eurostrings conferences were held in Gijon, Lyon, London, Milano, Leuven, Cambridge.

Exceptionally, this year the FPUK summer meeting and the Eurostrings conference will be combined into a joint conference hosted at Southampton. The conference will aim to showcase hep-th physics from all around Europe, including from all regions of the UK.

Fundamental Physics UK (FPUK) is an STFC-funded virtual theory centre, which coordinates theoretical physicists in the UK who work on formal topics in fundamental physics. FPUK organises annual 2.5-day summer meetings to bring together the UK hep-th community. Previous FPUK meetings were held in Durham, Swansea, among others.
