• New Frontiers in Strong Gravity, July 7-19 2024, Benasque

    New Frontiers in Strong Gravity, July 7-19 2024, Benasque 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. 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.

  • 3rd Einstein Telescope Site Preparation Board Workshop, December 6-7 2023 in Amsterdam

    3rd Einstein Telescope Site Preparation Board Workshop, December 6-7 2023 in Amsterdam Welcome to the 3rd Einstein Telescope Site Preparation Board (SPB) Workshop in Amsterdam on 6-7th December 2023. Following two earlier workshops in November 2021, in Nuoro, Sardina (IT) and in January 2023 in Maastricht (NL), this 3rd workshop will be the occasion to discuss and get updates on the various activities taking place at the sites aspiring to possibly host the future Einstein Telescope: Sardegna in Italy, EMR in Belgium, Germany & The Netherlands, and possibly Lausitz in Germany. In particular measurement standards of (hydro)geology aspects, noise environment, legal/permitting affairs, bidbook organization, schedules, excavation costs, local funding and…

  • First Stars VII, May 20-23, 2024, New York

    First Stars VII, May 20-23, 2024, New York The „First Stars“ conference series has brought together astronomers and astrophysicists working on the high-redshift universe roughly every four years since 2007[*]. The seventh edition, First Stars VII, will be hosted in New York City by the Flatiron Institute 20-23 May 2024. The meeting will feature invited review talks, contributed talks and posters and will leave ample time for discussion. The scientific program will balance theory, observations, and numerical simulations. Conference Website

  • Fundamental Physics at the Galactic Centre Workshop, December 15&18 2023, Porto

    Fundamental Physics at the Galactic Centre Workshop, December 15&18 2023, Porto The Galactic Centre and SgrA* is a unique laboratory for fundamental physics studies. Being the nearest supermassive compact object to planet Earth, it allows for probing the smallest spatial scales with high angular resolution instrumentation such as adaptive optics at the Keck and VLT telescopes, (sub-)mm long baseline interferometry with the EHT and infrared long baseline interferometry with Gravity/VLTI, space telescopes such as the James Webb or NuSTAR satellites. Its low accretion rate allows for a relatively minor astrophysical complexity concerning other counterparts. Workshop Website

    LISA Symposium July 8-12 2024, Dublin, Ireland The next LISA Symposium will be held at University College Dublin, Ireland from the 8th – 12th of July 2024. More information will be coming in the following weeks but for now please reserve this space in your calendar.

  • 12th Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (ACGRG), November 27 – December 1, 2023, Hobart

    12th Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (ACGRG), November 27 – December 1, 2023, Hobart The purpose of the ACGRG is to provide a regional forum to discuss general relativity, foster collaboration, and promote ideas and insight into the nature of gravity. The topics covered are broad, ranging from gravitational wave physics and astrophysics, exact solutions, and quantum gravity to cosmology and simulations. The primary focus is on in-person participation. However, the proceedings will be streamed via Zoom, and it is anticipated that 25% of talks will be allocated to online speakers. Conference Website
