Cosmology from Home is an annual online conference bringing together cosmologists at all career stages to discuss current developments across theoretical and observational cosmology. Pre-recorded talks combined with asynchronous and live discussions create a format that is both flexible and genuinely collaborative, removing the geographic and financial barriers that exclude many researchers from traditional conferences. Since 2020 the conference has covered topics from inflation and the CMB to large-scale structure, dark matter, modified gravity, and gravitational waves.
I have contributed talks to every edition since 2020 and am a strong advocate of the conference within my group. The online format makes it accessible to researchers worldwide, independent of travel budget or institutional affiliation — qualities that matter particularly for early-career scientists. I actively encourage my students to submit contributions and engage with the discussions: the quality of scientific exchange, combined with a genuinely inclusive atmosphere, makes Cosmology from Home one of the most effective venues for early-career researchers to present their work and connect with the broader cosmology community.
