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 is now open at the website
https://benasque.org/2024relativity/
where you can find further information.

Objective of the workshop:
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, 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 -  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 - Justin Vines
* 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.
