Training Week
06 Jul, 2026 - 12 Jul, 2026
The training week will offer an introductory program specifically designed for students and early-career researchers, with the aim of preparing participants who may not yet be experts on the topic for the main workshop. The school will focus on key cosmological observables relevant to the workshop, as well as methodologies for data analysis and statistical techniques used to compare theoretical models with observations. It will feature a combination of lectures, hands-on tutorials, and guided discussions. At the end of the week, students will also have the opportunity to present their own work and receive feedback from leading experts in the field. Dedicated discussion sessions will provide a valuable space for participants to engage with fellow researchers, ask questions, and potentially initiate new collaborations.
Topics covered will include:
- Statistical and Numerical methods for Bayesian analysis & model comparison - Tanvi Karwal (Chicago University);
- Large-scale structure and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations - Anna Porredon (Madrid, CIEMAT);
- Supernovae cosmology & the Cosmic distance ladder - Daniel Scolnic (Duke University);
- CMB cosmology and next-generation surveys - Tristan L. Smith (Swarthmore University);
- Theory of dark energy and dark matter - Alessandra Silvestri (Leiden University);
- Cosmology with Gravitational Waves - Antonella Palmese (Carnegie Mellon University);
- Colloquium on Philosophy and History of Cosmology - Pedro Ferreira (Oxford University).

The participants who would like to present a poster are kindly invited to send an email with the title and a short abstract to alice.bernamonti@unifuit before May 22, specifying for which week of the workshop. Since a limited number of panels is available, the organizers will select the posters shortly after the deadline.
