Black Holes 2022

This conference is the latest in our Durham-Dartmouth black-hole series. In deference to our previous meetings it will not be held in either Dartmouth or Durham but will be hosted in the iconic Harpa conference centre in Reykjavik so we can face Eyjafjallajokull, the infamous Iceland volcano that shut down European airspace in April-May 2010. This calamitous event led to the cancellation and subsequent rescheduling of our original workshop on "What drives the growth of black holes?". Our latest conference, a celebration of the subsequent progress made over the last decade, was originally scheduled for 2020 but had to be rescheduled to 2021 and then again to 2022 due to covid19... yes nature seems to be inherently linked to our workshop series! We hope to see you in Iceland over 26th-30th September 2022 to celebrate the last decade of progress on "What drives the growth of black holes?"

Meeting Format

The conference will be hosted at the iconic Harpa conference centre with four full days of scientific presentations and discussion and a full-day mid-week excursion out to Eyjafjallajökull (the South Shore Adventure tour), the infamous Iceland volcano that has left an indelible mark on our black-hole workshop series!

The venue has a capacity of 185, which means that in-person attendance will be limited. The meeting will be available in a hybrid format for those who are unable to attend in person to join virtually. Please see the COVID-19 Information link in the menu to the left for updates on covid restrictions and protocols. Registration for the conference is only possible via this online registration platform.
