    About the Summit

    We are pleased to announce the annual summit at the Cosmic Dawn Center.

    Objective

    Each year, new faces appear at DAWN, and you forget what your old colleagues are spending their time on. The purpose of the DAWN Summit is to get to know each other, scientifically and socially, get an overview of the science of DAWN, and hopefully spawn new collaborations.

    Talks

    Present your nice results or null-result, or explain where you're stuck and could use some input from colleagues.

    Unless recordings or call-ins are specifically requested, the meeting will be in-person only. This is to avoid the significant overhead when dealing with bad connections, computer setups, etc. between the talks.

    Contributed talks

    should be roughly 18 minutes including questions (e.g. 13+5 or 15+3), so that a new speaker may start every 20 minutes.

    Review talks

    will be ~25 minutes, plus time for questions and discussions; 30 minutes in total including overhead. They will focus on advances in the field particularly within the last year.

    Slack channel

    Discussions may be continued online on our Slack channel #summit-2026.
