5th EPS Conference on Gravitation

9 Dec 2024, 08:00 → 11 Dec 2024, 19:30 Europe/Amsterdam

Hall 206 (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague)

R. Loll (Department of High-Energy Physics, Radboud University), A. Pravdová (Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences)

Aim and Motivation

General relativity is a beautiful, but highly complex theory in terms of its field content, invariant structure and the nature of its dynamical equations. Describing gravitational phenomena beyond a weak-field regime and in the absence of global symmetries requires refined computational methods. Progress in understanding black hole properties, binary systems, the early universe, and astrophysical environments depends critically on further developing our computational tool box. 

Unlocking Gravity Through Computation will bring together gravity researchers from different backgrounds. We are delighted to be hosting a broad range of keynote speakers working at the forefront of developing and applying numerical approximation and simulation techniques, as well as new analytical methods. We aim for a constructive and interactive meeting, including discussions on the future challenges and opportunities for computation in classical and quantum gravity. We invite the submission of abstracts for contributed talks and posters and encourage especially junior researchers to participate.

Location and Venue

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, the historical capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Various notable physicists spent part of their career in Prague, including Johannes Kepler, Marcus Marci, Christian Doppler, Ernst Mach and Albert Einstein.The conference will take place close to Prague's city centre in one of the conference halls of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, built in the mid 19th century.
