[Users] Workshop "New frontiers in strong gravity III" in Benasque - 1st announcement

[Helvi Witek]

Dear colleagues,

The third installment of the two-week workshop “New frontiers in strong 
gravity” will take place in Benasque, Spain from Jul 07–19, 2024. The 
registration will open in Spring 2024.

Please see the website http://benasque.org/2024relativity/ for further 
information.

Summary:

The highly nonlinear, strong-field regime of gravity holds the key to 
address long-standing puzzles in modern physics. These range from 
theoretical questions concerning the nature of gravity, the quest for a 
consistent theory of quantum gravity and resulting modifications to 
general relativity, to new insights into nuclear matter under extreme 
conditions in the context of neutron star and multi-messenger astronomy.

In this two-week workshop (Jul 07–19, 2024) 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:

Alessandra Buonanno - Chiara Caprini* -  Vitor Cardoso - Ramiro Cayuso - 
Pippa Cole - Isabel Cordero Carrión - Maxence Corman - Alex Grant - 
Lavinia Heisenberg - Aaron Held - Leah Jenks - Andrea Mitridate - Jaki 
Noronha-Hostler*- Ornella Piccinni - Jocelyn Read - Harvey Reall* - 
Horng Sheng Chia - Banafshe Shiralilou - Justin Vines - Jordan Wilson-Gerow
* To be confirmed

We would appreciate it if you could forward the announcement to 
interested researchers in our field.

We look forward to welcoming you in Benasque

Helvi,

On behalf of the organizers (D. Blas, P. Figueras, S. Nissanke, L. 
Stein, H. Witek)
