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.

Testing Gravity 2025 will be the 5th Testing Gravity conference hosted by Simon Fraser University. Held at the SFU Harbour Centre January 29 - February 1, 2025, it will bring together leading experts on various ways of testing laws of gravity. Testing Gravity remains a topical theme because of the unexplained nature of dark matter and dark energy and the long-standing failure to reconcile gravity with quantum physics. Like the previous meetings, TG2025 will feature latest updates from gravitational wave and astrophysical observatories, lab-based experiments, as well as discussions of recent theoretical advances. The conference aims to provide theorists working on extensions of General Relativity with a realistic perspective on what aspects of their theories can be tested. On the other hand, the experimentalists and observers will get a chance to learn about new ideas that their experiments can test.

Wednesday, January 29th, will feature a school with five review lectures given by some of the invited speakers providing background into the key topics covered by the conference. The main conference, January 30 – February 1, will include invited and contributed talks, and a poster session.

In the history of numerical (or computational) general relativity, the “Frontiers” meeting in 1988 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (USA), played a pivotal role in establishing numerical relativity as a major topic in computational physics and simulation science. The “New Frontiers” meeting in 2006 at the AEI Potsdam convened following major breakthroughs in numerical simulations of binary systems. The most recent “Frontiers 2022” conference was instrumental in assessing the state-of-the-art and identifying future directions in numerical relativity. The upcoming “New Frontiers 2025: past, current and future challenges in Numerical Relativity” will emphasize the significant theoretical and computational challenges ahead, not only in understanding the observations of gravitational waves and electromagnetic counterparts but also in comprehending the nature of gravity at a more fundamental level. Reflecting on past adversities and how our community overcame them may guide us in current and future endeavors. 

Main topics:

• Mathematical foundations
• Numerical methods for the Einstein and the radiation MHD equations
• High performance computing
• Astrophysics (binary mergers, gravitational waves, electromagnetic counterparts,…)
• Beyond current astrophysics and general relativity

The meeting will take place at the University of the Balearic Islands starting on July 21st and ending on July 25th, 2025. There is no registration fee.

Gravity Shape Pisa 2024:  Exploring New Sources of Gravitational Waves
Gravity Shape Pisa (GraSP) 2024 is the 2nd edition of the International Conference GraSP, entirely organised by PhD students that supports the active participation of young researchers.

The event is organized to balance “senior” and “young” talk sessions in the fields of observative and theoretical gravitational wave physics. This will give the opportunity to early-stage researchers to spread their work, but also to experienced scientists to be aware about original research inputs coming from younger physicists. The conference will focus on still undetected sources of gravitational waves and their study in current and future detectors. Presentations will cover aspects of astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics.

GraSP 2024 will take place in the Physics Department “E. Fermi” of the University of Pisa.

No FEE required.
