BlackHolistic 2026: black holes, accretion and jets across the mass spectrum

 

Pre-announcement, one year notice, save the dates

 

March 23-27, 2026, Oxford, UK

 

We will be hosting a major international workshop on black hole accretion and jet formation at The University of Oxford between March 23-27, 2026. Our goal is to address the scaling of these phenomena across the mass and accretion rate spectra. We will consider all aspects of accreting black holes, including black hole transients, X-ray binaries, tidal disruption events, active galactic nuclei and the role of black hole accretion physics in cosmological simulations. 

 

We aim to bring a new perspective to these problems, and hope to bring together the above diverse communities which too rarely intersect, and to do so in an engaging and efficient way.

 

We will have an in-person capacity of around 100, and to stream all talks and discussions online for free.

 

SOC: Rob Fender, Sera Markoff, Francesca Panessa, Jiri Svoboda, Erin Kara (to be expanded)
