We are pleased to announce that the 29th Capra Meeting on Radiation Reaction in General Relativity will be hosted in Brussels from Monday June 29th to July 3rd 2026. It will take place as a Solvay workshop organised by the International Solvay Institutes.

Further information about Capra 2026 will be posted in the coming months on https://www.caprameeting.org/ and https://solvayinstitutes.be/home/activities/workshop/ .

The Capra meeting is an annual conference on the topic of radiation reaction in general relativity. The primary focus of these conferences is the development of the gravitational self-force approach to model extreme mass ratio inspirals and further our understanding of the two-body problem in general relativity. This is done in synergy with other well-known modeling techniques such as post-Newtonian theory and numerical relativity. The canonical example of an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI) is the inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a supermassive black hole. Gravitational waves from these systems are a promising target for the future space-based detector LISA.

The study of radiation reaction and self-force is not limited to EMRIs, and a range of topics and applications to other areas of gravitational physics have been discussed at past Capra meetings; an example is the scattering of massive particles, which is currently an active area of research. The format of the meeting is an amalgamation of a daily invited review talk, short contributed talks and organised discussion sessions.

Following the tradition of past Capra meetings, no registration fee is charged. A contribution of 50 euros to the banquet will be requested at registration for the attendees that would like to join the banquet. Several selected early career researchers will be funded by providing up to 6 nights of accommodation during the conference. Applications will be reviewed by members of the local organising committee and the equity, diversity and inclusion team at Capra.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the momentous first detection of gravitational waves, GW150914, a two-day international scientific meeting will be held at the Auditorium on the ParcBit campus, adjacent to the University of the Balearic Islands in Mallorca, Spain, on Monday, September 15, and Tuesday, September 16. The event will be followed by outreach activities for local students and the general public on Wednesday, September 17.

The meeting will cover the historical context and impact of the first discovery itself, the highlights of the exciting present of gravitational-wave astronomy, and its bright future prospects. There will be high-level talks by invited speakers, a limited number of contributed talks and a poster session open to all participants, room for strategic discussions with a focus on GW science in Spain, and a festive reception on Monday evening.

There is no registration fee. The deadline for registrations including abstracts for contributed talks is July 20, and for general attendance, the deadline is August 31. (No abstracts are required for posters.) As Palma remains a popular tourist destination in September, we recommend booking your travel and accommodation as soon as possible.

There will also be representatives from the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and local institutions.

To mark the occasion, there will also be an exhibition at the ParcBit. We warmly invite and encourage participants to contribute additional scientific posters or outreach material for this exhibition, whether showcasing your institutes and projects or highlighting general gravitational wave outreach.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mallorca for this occasion.

TeVPA is an international conference focused on the field of Particle Astrophysics, covering exciting and timely topics such as cosmic ray physics, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino astronomy, cosmology, dark matter searches, gravitational waves, and connections to particle physics. Plenary and parallel sessions will be devoted to explore the current status and the future perspectives of these topics. This year the conference will take place in Valencia, Spain, where we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, initiated in Fermilab in 2005.

The meeting will take place at the Bancaja Foundation, an emblematic building of the city of Valencia, and at the ADEIT Foundation, the University-Enterprise Foundation of the University of Valencia.

Please, note that registration in both sites, indico and ADEIT, is required. Fee payment and social program are managed from the ADEIT site. The fee includes conference materials, coffee breaks, lunches from Monday (Nov 3) thru Thursday (Nov 6), reception cocktail on Monday (Nov 3) and gala dinner on Thursday (Nov 6).

Important dates

JUNE 30: Deadline for abstract submission
JULY 31: Abstracts selection
AUGUST 22: Deadline for early registration fee (400€)
OCTOBER 5: Deadline for late registration fee (450€)

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration invites the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) astronomy and astrophysics community for a 5-day Symposium on July 21–25, 2025, at the University of Warsaw, Poland. CCSNe are among the most violent explosions known to occur in the Universe, and the next Galactic or near-extra-Galactic exploding massive star will be one of the most interesting, and most important, astronomical events of the century. This Symposium aims to bring CCSN experts together to address how to maximize the scientific potential of the first detection of core collapse supernova gravitational waves (GWs). The Symposium hopes to bring together GW astronomers and CCSN modelers, as well as neutrino and nuclear theorists, neutrino astronomers, and astronomers across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The sensitivity of GW detectors and progress on CCSN modeling are unprecedented, and we expect them to further advance in the coming years. A joint effort across communities has great potential to fully utilize these advances for CCSN GW discovery. Each day, we will host (before lunch) a set of lectures on one of the key topics listed below, to establish a common understanding and a common language. Moreover, each day (after lunch) will also include invited and contributed talks, as well as discussion. The focus topics of the Symposium are:

Day 1: CCSN Theory
Day 2: CCSN Gravitational Wave Detection and Parameter Estimation
Day 3: CCSN Neutrino Detection
Day 4: CCSNe across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Day 5: CCSNe over the Next Ten Years

The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a special issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity. We hope the proceedings will serve as a reference for students, postdocs, and faculty in, or entering, the field, serve to capture the current state of core collapse supernova gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics, outline lessons learned, and provide recommendations for future development.

Everyone who wishes to advance the field of CCSN GW science is welcome!
