New frontiers in strong gravity

The highly nonlinear, strong-field regime of gravity holds the key to 
address long-standing puzzles in modern physics. These range from deeply 
theoretical questions concerning a consistent theory of quantum gravity 
and resulting modifications to general relativity, over the stability 
properties of black holes in traditional general relativity, to new 
insight into nuclear matter under extreme conditions in the context of 
neutron star and multimessenger astronomy.


In this two-week workshop (Jul 03–16, 2022) we will bring together 
leading experts as well as junior scientists and PhD students in these 
diverse research areas, to encourage communication and training across 
the fields and to foster new research collaborations.


Invited speakers include:

Masha Baryaktar • Laura Bernard • Beatrice Bonga • Katerina 
Chatziioannou • Katy Clough • Mihalis Dafermos • Will East • Roberto 
Emparan • Tanja Hinderer • Aaron Kovacs • Macarena Lagos • Luis Lehner • 
Lionel London • David Mateos • Maria Okounkova • Carlos Palenzuela • 
Paolo Pani • Patricia Schmidt • Thomas Sotiriou • Rita Teixeira • Toby 
Wiseman • Nicolas Yunes



The number of participants is limited. We ask students to upload a short 
CV (maximal 2 pages). Limited travel support will be available, with 
priority given to students and participants from underrepresented 
groups. To apply for travel support please include some text justifying 
your request for support on the registration page. Registration will 
close on May 31, 2022. Registration will open shortly.


To help us create a safe and healthy environment, we ask that all 
participants are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
