[Users] Workshop: New Frontiers in Strong Gravity, Benasque, 19-31 July 2026 (2nd announcement)

[Helvi Witek]

Dear colleagues,

The fourth installment of the two-week workshop “New frontiers in strong 
gravity” will take place in Benasque, Spain, from 19-31 July 2026. The 
registration is now open at the website 
https://benasque.org/2026relativity/ where you can find further information.

The goal of the workshop is to foster new ideas and collaborations by 
bringing together experts across different disciplines, including 
gravity, gravitational wave astrophysics, numerical and mathematical 
relativity. We plan for only two talks per day, with ample time for 
informal discussions, sessions and collaborations. We aim at creating a 
diverse and inclusive meeting that thrives through communication and 
discussion, and we would greatly welcome participation and contributions 
from different communities, as well as researchers at different career 
stages.

Invited speakers include:
Josu Aurrekoetzea - Miguel Bezares - Marina de Amicis - Elena Georgi - 
Archisman Ghosh - Ruth Gregory - Kelly Holley-Bockelmann - Alex Jenkins 
- Elisa Maggio - Simone Mastrogiovanni - Julio Parra-Martinez - Rafael 
Porto - B. Sathyaprakash - Thomas Sotiriou - Leonard Susskind - Rodrigo 
Vicente - Nils Vu - Silke Weinfurtner - Sebastian Zell

We look forward to welcoming you to Benasque,

Helvi
