*Dear colleagues,*
*
We would like to announce a two-week workshop “New frontiers in strong
gravity” taking place in Benasque, Spain, from Jul 05–18 2020. The
workshop’s web page is at http://benasque.org/2020relativity/. Please
see the announcement below. Limited travel funds are available, with
priority given to PhD students. We would appreciate it if you could
forward the announcement to interested researchers in our field.
Best wishes,
Helvi
(on behalf of the organizers D. Blas, P. Figueras, E. Lim, L. Stein, H.
Witek, S. Nissanke)
New frontiers in strong gravity
The highly nonlinear, strong-field regime of gravity holds the key to
address long-standing puzzles in modern physics. These range from deeply
theoretical questions concerning a consistent theory of quantum gravity
and resulting modifications to general relativity, over the stability
properties of black holes in traditional general relativity, to new
insight into nuclear matter under extreme conditions in the context of
neutron star and multimessenger astronomy.
In this two-week workshop (Jul 05–18, 2020) 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 foster new research collaborations.
Invited speakers include:
• Samaya Nissanke • Tessa Baker • Roberto Emparan • Katy Clough • Enrico
Barausse • Deirdre Shoemaker • Will East • Aaron Zimmerman • Thomas
Sotiriou • Mihalis Dafermos • Maria Okounkova • David Mateos • Anne
Davis • Rachel Rosen • Niels Warburton • Laura Bernard • Harald Pfeiffer
The number of participants is limited. We ask students to upload a short
CV (maximal 2 pages). Limited travel support will be available, with
priority given to students. To apply for travel support please include
some text justifying your request for support on the registration page.
Registration will close on May 25. Registration and more information is
at the workshop’s web page, http://benasque.org/2020relativity/.
