ANITA 2026 workshop and summer school, 9-13 February 2026, Perth WA

The 20th annual Australian National Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics science workshop will be held on 12-13 February 2026 at the University of Western Australia in Perth. The workshop aims to provide a review of theoretical astrophysics in Australia, facilitate collaboration and build the community of theoretical astrophysicists. All topics in theoretical astrophysics are covered, and as always, early career researchers are particularly encouraged to contribute talks.

The ANITA summer school on the topic of Numerical computing techniques for simulating the Universe will be held on 9-11 February 2026. Students from across Australia are encouraged to attend to learn numerical computing techniques from expert scientists based at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).
