########## Conference Announcement ##########
Dear all,

We are delighted to announce the upcoming conference “Dark Matter and
Black Holes”, to be held from December 1-5, 2025 at the Kavli Institute
for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU), Japan.

This workshop will bring together astronomers, cosmologists, and
particle physicists to discuss the fascinating connections between black
holes and dark matter.   What can be learned from the intertwined
cosmological histories of dark matter and black holes?  What are the
interactions and observational consequences of various dark matter
candidates in the presence of black holes? Is dark matter composed of
black holes?  Was the formation of supermassive black holes influenced
by dark matter?  Can dark matter cause neutron stars to collapse into
black holes?   Can black hole observations reveal the particle
properties of dark matter?   We hope to shed light on these and other
questions that surround the profound mysteries of black holes and dark
matter.

Registrations are open!
