Overview
Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, in partnership with the Ruđer Bošković Institute and the Faculty of Science in Split, is happy to announce the summer workshop Cosmology in the Adriatic -- From PT to AI!
The workshop will be highly interactive, facilitating discussions among the participants. We will have talks and discussion sessions, complemented by excursions, wine tasting events, and sampling of local cuisine.
The conference venue is the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences, a renovated historic building situated in a wooded and landscaped park located on the Adriatic Sea coast, a few kilometres from the Split city centre, and very close to many beautiful beaches and the beautiful Villa Dalmacija.
Registration fee will be around 300 EUR and will cover venue facilities, lunch from Monday to Friday and dinner on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The workshop program begins on Monday morning and ends on Friday afternoon.
Organizational questions can be sent to: adriatic2024@irb.hr. Registrations are now closed, details on how to pay registration fee have been provided to registered participants.
Program
The focus of the workshop will be comparing perturbation theory methods vs. AI methods, and discussing their pros and cons. The workshop will have a review talk in the morning, followed by a coffee break of 1 hour to allow discussion between participants. Lunch will be at the conference venue, and will last 1 hour and a half, again to give time to participants to discuss. We have created a slido where participants can ask, vote and then answer questions in an interactive way. We will have short demos from students for likelihood sampling methods and perturbation theory methods that will take place around lunch time, for the interested participants. More talks by senior and junior researchers, postdocs and students will take place in the morning and afternoon. For students, talks have the form of a gong show of 6 minutes, in order to allow to every participant the possibility to talk, given time constraints and number of participants.
