Early Universe from Home is an online cosmology conference with an innovative format. This format, pioneered by Cosmology from Home, produces a dynamic and collaborative workshop experience within the online domain. It includes the use of pre-recorded talks, and a combination of asynchronous and scheduled live discussions. A permanently available and freely-navigated discussion space also facilitates ongoing, organic discussions.
The conference will bring together cosmologists from around the world to discuss, and share ideas on, cosmological correlators, phase transitions, topological defects, primordial black holes and other early structure formation.
