Black Holes in a Violent Universe

“Black Holes in a Violent Universe” is a COST Action (MP0905) connecting scientists from different disciplines – astronomers from all wavelength regimes (i.e. radio to TeV), physicists and particle physicists, theoreticians and observers – from currently 25 countries. The aim is to collaborate in a cross-disciplinary and multi-dimensional approach towards a better understanding of the general Black Hole phenomenon. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is one of the longest-running European instruments supporting cooperation among scientists and researchers across Europe. The goal of MP0905 is to decipher further the way the Universe and the stars and galaxies evolved and – in particular – the role Black Holes play in this. This Action is an open and flexible program of communication and interchange.
