Gravity beyond Einstein: Quo vadimus?

The first simultaneous detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from two merging neutron stars (GW170817 and GRB 170817A) poses new challenges to theories of gravity specifically designed to explain the late time accelerated expansion of the universe. Nevertheless, tensions in the data and the so far unsolved cosmological constant problem make infrared modifications to General Relativity (GR) an attractive alternative to dark energy, both theoretically and observationally. By bringing together experts on different aspects of modified gravity, this workshop is designed to discuss the current status of modified gravity cosmology, and most importantly encourage structured discussions aimed to setting the stage for crucial steps forward in the search for signatures beyond GR
