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 03–16, 2022) 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:
Masha Baryaktar • Laura Bernard • Beatrice Bonga • Katerina
Chatziioannou • Katy Clough • Mihalis Dafermos • Will East • Roberto
Emparan • Tanja Hinderer • Aaron Kovacs • Macarena Lagos • Luis Lehner •
Lionel London • David Mateos • Maria Okounkova • Carlos Palenzuela •
Paolo Pani • Patricia Schmidt • Thomas Sotiriou • Rita Teixeira • Toby
Wiseman • Nicolas Yunes
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 and participants from underrepresented
groups. To apply for travel support please include some text justifying
your request for support on the registration page. Registration will
close on May 31, 2022. Registration will open shortly.
To help us create a safe and healthy environment, we ask that all
participants are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
