Asia-Pacific School and Workshop on Gravitation and Cosmology(APSW-GC) is a series of annual activities, which takes place in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to promote understanding of frontier issues in gravitation and cosmology, to introduce and propose challenging problems to young physicists. It has been hosted by AP regions since 2007: Tainan(2007); Taitung(2008); Pohang(2009); Taitung(2010); Shanghai(2011); Kyoto(2012); Jeju-Island(2013); Taipei(2014); Singapore(2015); Changsha(2016); HongKong(2017); Shanghai(2018); Kyoto(2019); Daejeon(2020); Taipei(2022).    

The Asia-Pacific School and Workshop on Gravitation and Cosmology 2023 will be held at Hangzhou, China.  It will be  hosted by ICTP-AP(Beijing/Hangzhou), co-hosted by APCTP (Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics), HIAS-UCAS (Hangzhou Institute of Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences), ITP-CAS (Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences), NAOC (National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences), and ZJUT (Zhejiang University of Technology).  The synopsis/topics to be covered include: Black hole physics, Dark matter and dark energy, Gravitational waves and fundamental physics, Inflation and cosmology, etc.

The registration deadline is April 30th, 2023. 

The registration fee will be paid on-site: 1000RMB (~150USD).
