Overview
We live in an era striving to uncover the origin of the Universe through observation. A century after Hubble’s discovery of cosmic expansion, our instruments have advanced dramatically. Through diverse probes—the cosmic microwave background (CMB), galaxy surveys, supernovae, and gravitational waves—the Universe’s history has become a subject of direct measurement rather than theory.
Cosmology has entered a stage where precision observations open new physics, and at its frontier lies the search for the stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB).
Within the next five years, two landmark discoveries may be within reach:
(1) primordial gravitational waves from inflation or cosmological phase transitions; and
(2) an astrophysical SGWB from compact binary mergers across cosmic time.
These goals unite cosmology and gravitational-wave astronomy, driving international efforts such as LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA and the Simons Observatory toward the next breakthrough.
In this mini-workshop, we explore the combined impact of GW and CMB observations on the emerging Gravitational-Wave Landscape, the cosmology and astrophysics they enable, and new ideas for cross-correlations with other probes.
The program mainly consists of invited talks, but we can accept poster presentations and a few short oral presentations.
