Dear colleagues,
The COSMO-MASTER team is pleased to announce a Workshop on the Philosophy of Spin-2 Gravity, which will take place on 22 April 2026 in Utrecht (NL).
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, spin-2 gravity's (in)equivalence with General Relativity, its applications to gravitational waves, and its philosophical consequences, 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.
