Aims of the meeting

This meeting brings together the international research community actively engaged in the study of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and aims to summarize the progress in this field as it enters an exciting phase in the coming decade. The origin of FRBs remains a mystery, but the prospects for solving it are at hand thanks to a wide array of emerging new facilities that are finding FRBs at an ever increasing rate. Located at cosmological distances, FRBs have great potential as probes of exotic physics as well as the large-scale structure of the Universe. We anticipate a broad-ranging discussion about the FRB population(s) and their use as astrophysical probes.
