2023 Workshop on Classical Gravity

Fundamental gravity, astronomy and cosmology have experienced unprecedented new developments and Gravitational Waves is a relatively recent actor on the stage. New observations of transients of electromagnetic, cosmic rays and neutrino origin are expected in the next decade, which will serve as cosmological probes as well as cosmic laboratories of strong gravity and high-energy physics. The high level of coordination required to maximize the (astro)physics output of forthcoming observations makes it timely to explore the cross-correlation among these different probes of astronomy, cosmology and fundamental gravity.

The aim of this workshop is to further stimulate activities in the Latin-American community in these rapidly evolving research areas related to classical gravity, to strengthen and spur new connections and collaborations, and to award the 2023 ICTP-SAIFR Prizes for the best Latin-American thesis in Classical Gravity and Applications.

The 2023 Workshop on Classical Gravity  is a a part of the Gravitational Waves meet Amplitudes in the Southern Hemisphere Program

There is no registration fee.
