# Event Details - **Event Name**: EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: Big ideas, simple universe: join Neil Turok as he reveals cosmic order, quantum secrets, and a bold new vision of reality.About this EventRecent observations reveal surprising simplicity and order in the universe, on both the largest and smallest visible scales. They are providing new clues about the fundamental laws of physics, suggesting simpler and more powerful unifying principles. Understanding the universe and its most basic laws helps us to appreciate our origins and place in the cosmos as well as the extraordinary possibilities which lie ahead. The profound knowledge we gain is not only humankind’s most precious possession, it's also completely free to share.Professor Neil TurokNeil is the inaugural Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh. Neil develops and tests theories of the universe and its basic laws, from the big bang to the future. His team successfully predicted the observed correlations between the temperature and polarisation of the cosmic microwave background as well as other cosmic observables. After studies in Cambridge and Imperial College, Neil was Professor of Physics at Princeton, Chair of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge and Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada.In 2003, Neil founded the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). AIMS’s six centres, in South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Rwanda have over 5,000 Master’s and PhD alumni. Neil won a TED Prize and honorary doctorates from nine universities. His book, The Universe Within: From Quantum to Cosmos won Canada’s top prize for popular science writing. He won the John Torrence Tate award of the American Institute of Physics for international leadership in physics, is an Honorary Fellow of the UK Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and an Officer of the Order of Canada.Professor Fulvio MilitelloFulvio Militello is Executive Director of Plasma Science and Fusion Operations at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), leading a team of 250 researchers and engineers dedicated to advancing fusion energy. His Directorate is responsible for MAST Upgrade, the flagship fusion experiment in the UK. A fusion scientist with over two decades of international experience, he has worked in universities and national laboratories in Italy, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. At UKAEA, he has held a series of senior leadership roles and has led major international collaborations such as EUROfusion’s work on advanced divertor configurations.His research focuses on plasma boundary physics, turbulence, and magnetohydrodynamics with more than 100 scientific publications and over 5,000 citations. He is the author of Boundary Plasma Physics: An Accessible Guide to Transport, Detachment, and Divertor Design (Springer).Fulvio graduated as an aerospace engineer and holds a joint doctorate in plasma physics from Aix Marseille University and the Politecnico di Torino. He is Visiting Professor of Physics at Imperial College London, contributing to the interface between fundamental plasma physics and fusion machine design.Agenda?: 04:30 PM - 05:00 PMRegistration + Arrival refreshmentsInfo: Light refreshments available - Teas and Coffees?: 05:00 PM - 05:30 PMNeil Turok - LectureHost: Neil Turok?: 05:30 PM - 06:00 PMInterviewHost: Prof Fulvio Militello ?: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMAudience Q&A - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/eicc-live-a-simpler-cosmology/100001990474629198 - **Event Categories**: fitness, science-fair, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-07-01T15:30:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Edinburgh International Conference Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Edinburgh International Conference Centre - **lat**: 55.94605300000001 - **long**: -3.2099269999999933 - **full address**: Edinburgh International Conference Centre, 150 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8e49816521edac99d3ff34844ae769c363ee5af04c787c93577fcaf05d45a625-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781596514 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology being held? - **A:** EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology takes place on Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm at Edinburgh International Conference Centre, 150 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology? - **A:** EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology is organized by Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "EICC Live - A Simpler Cosmology", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8e49816521edac99d3ff34844ae769c363ee5af04c787c93577fcaf05d45a625-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781596514", "startDate": "2026-07-01", "endDate": "2026-07-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/eicc-live-a-simpler-cosmology/100001990474629198", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Edinburgh International Conference Centre", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "150 Morrison Street", "postalCode": "EH3 8EE", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh", "addressRegion": "SC", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "55.94605300000001", "longitude": "-3.2099269999999933" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Big ideas, simple universe: join Neil Turok as he reveals cosmic order, quantum secrets, and a bold new vision of reality.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-19", "availabilityEnds": "2026-07-01", "validFrom": "2026-08-19", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/eicc-live-a-simpler-cosmology/100001990474629198" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-19", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/edinburgh/eicc-live-a-simpler-cosmology/100001990474629198", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC)", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/edinburgh-international-conference-centre-eicc/23661185", "description": "Located in the heart of vibrant Edinburgh the EICC is an impressive purpose-built venue ideal for conferences, exhibitions and live entertainment.
