[Everyone] Announcement: Wide-Field Survey of Fast Radio Bursts and Future Cosmology (April 8–11, 2026 | Green Island, Taiwan)

[Sujin Eie]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the FRB Taiwan 2026 conference, “*Wide-Field
Survey of Fast Radio Bursts and Future Cosmology*
<https://events.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/workshop/20260408/>” will be held at *Green
Island Marine Research Station, Green Island, Taiwan, from April 8 to 11,
2026*. This conference aims to cover a comprehensive range of topics,
exploring both observational and theoretical perspectives on Fast Radio
Bursts (FRBs) and related transients, and their relevance to cosmology. Due
to logistical considerations at the venue, this conference will be held in
person only.

A key focus of the meeting is to shape the scientific direction of the
Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan (BURSTT) through active
exchange with the international FRB community. The conference will
highlight BURSTT’s growth into a global outrigger network, emphasizing
international collaboration and improved localization of fast radio bursts.
Discussions will span open questions in FRB science, from their origins and
host environments to their promise as tools for cosmology, and explore how
BURSTT’s wide-field surveys and global partnerships can help address these
challenges.

Details on the conference timeline and confirmed speakers are provided
below. For registration and additional information, please visit the
