Cosmo-Master Philosophy of Spin-2 Gravity Workshop, Utrecht, 22 April 2026

By Wuthrich

The Cosmo-Master team at the University of Utrecht is organising the first Cosmo-Master Workshop on the Philosophy of Spin-2 Gravity, which will take place on 22 April in Utrecht.

The workshop will bring together physicists and philosophers to discuss the current state of the art in the field and its broader ramifications, including perturbative quantum gravity, its (in)equivalence with General Relativity, its applications to gravitational waves, and its philosophical implications, such as the dynamical versus geometrical approaches and the spacetime–matter dichotomy.

We warmly welcome researchers and students from both philosophy and physics to join the discussion as participants.

Our invited speakers are:
Anupam Mazumdar (University of Groningen)
Niels Linnemann (University of Geneva)
Kian Salimkhani (Radboud University)

The deadline for registration is 15 April. Please register via the following link:
