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. Stein, H. Witek)
