-Stefano Savastano ​(University of Bologna) - TBA+Ana Marta Pinho & Manuel Wittner ​(ITP, Universität Heidelberg) - "​Cosmology,​ philosophically speaking"​ (Collective Discussions)

+As researchers we tend to find answers using the scientific method. However, some questions may not have an answer but still spark a lot of different thoughts and perspectives. In this tunch, we will address some of these questions, from infinity to the beginning of the universe as well as the anthropic principle or the nature of time and space.

-Ana Marta Pinho (ITP, Universität Heidelberg) - TBA+Manuel Wittner ​(ITP, Universität Heidelberg) - "​Introduction to flux compactifications and moduli stabilization"​
+
+Kaluza-Klein compactifications are the bridge between 10D string theory and our 4D world. Through the large number of possibilities of this compactified internal space, a vast landscape of string vacua arises, one of which might represent our Universe. In this talk I will introduce basic knowledge about flux compactifications and the stabilization of moduli, which are necessary steps in order to obtain realistic 4D models.

-Salvador Ramirez (ITP, Universität Heidelberg) - TBA+Salvador Ramirez (ITP, Universität Heidelberg) - "​Deser-Woodard Model and its Reconstruction Problem" ​

+
+Nonlocal modifications of gravity arise when one attempts to see the effects of radiative corrections at the classical level. These corrections are often impractical,​ they are difficult to calculate and depend on the method used and assumptions about the source of the corrections. To overcome this we can take a top-down approach, and construct an action with nonlocal terms based on their properties. Deser-Woodard model follows this approach and constructs an action with one of the simplest nonlocal terms and an arbitrary function. We will discuss the reconstruction problem of this model and provide a method to reproduce any given background. Since the model differs with $\Lambda$CDM at the perturbation level, we can test the model with observational data.
