Cosmic Origins at the Roman Workshop

This Caltech/IPAC workshop will take place July 13 through 16, 2026, and is being organized and hosted by the Roman Science Support Center. The goal of this conference is to bring members of the community together to focus on the new exciting landscapes poised for potential breakthroughs using the Roman surveys with the Wide Field Instrument, as well as on the Coronagraph Instrument.

We will cover topics across all types of Roman science, from exoplanets to high-redshift galaxy evolution to cosmology, and beyond. The conference will focus on new results and questions that have emerged since Roman was first envisioned, that Roman is uniquely suited to address, given its high spatial resolution, sensitivity, and wide field spectroscopy and imaging capabilities. We look forward to fascinating and stimulating presentations and discussions from the broader astronomical community, as we approach the era of Roman.

Participation in this conference is limited to professional astronomers, research scientists, and other professionals actively engaged in the relevant field.
