Dear all:

We are extremely happy to announce the first in-person Siembra HolaGrav Young Frontiers Meeting, which will take place at ICTP-SAIFR in Sao Paulo from June 30 to July 11 2025.

It will consist of a two-week graduate and masters school for young researchers, hosted and financed by the ICTP-SAIFR.  You can find the registration link here. Application deadline: April 19, 2025.

We hope the event will be extremely useful for the students, spark many scientific collaborations among the participants, and help integrate the new members into the LatAm-HEP community. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for inviting students and covering local expenses. Applicants are invited to submit abstracts for short talks and posters. The event is targeted at Ph.D. students and masters students with a background in General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory.

The topics of the school include black hole microstate counting, de Sitter holography, matrix models, strings and gravity in AdS3, scattering amplitudes for gravitational waves, and the cosmological bootstrap program. The distinguished (and confirmed) lecturers will be:

    Julio Parra-Martínez (IHES, France)

    Alejandra Castro (Cambridge U., DAMTP, UK)

    Chiara Toldo (Harvard U., USA & Milan U., Italy)

    Guilherme Pimentel (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy)

    Tarek Anous (Queen Mary University of London, UK)

    Dionysios Anninos (King’s College London, UK)

A couple more words about the event. Over the last few years, the Red(e) Siembra-HoLAGrav has hosted an ongoing series of online Young Frontiers Meetings (YFM), targeted specifically to graduate students and early career researchers. The goal is to bring young Latin American students to the forefront of the research in Holography and related topics and also to give opportunities to young postdocs and advanced students to present their results. The YFM initiative has had an important impact, with around 650 registered participants in total over the first 5 events. A complete recording of all the lectures and talks can be found on our YouTube Channel.

In summary, we are very happy to invite you to the YFM school, and hope to see you all there!
