Summary
The meeting "Current Themes in Theoretical Physics, Gravity and Cosmology" will provide a unique avenue for some of the worlds top researchers to discuss new ideas related to theoretical physics, gravity and cosmology. A speciel attention will be given to the booming field of gravitational physics, that recently experienced a true renaissance after the first detection of colliding black holes through their emission of gravitational waves. How and where such binary black holes form and collide in our Universe are still major outstanding questions, which will serve as key points of discussion at the meeting. Gravity also plays a key role on much larger scales, namely in both the beginning and later evolution of our Universe. These topics will also be discussed at the meeting.
