The 27th Capra Meeting will be hosted at the National University of Singapore from the 17th-21st of June 2024, more details to follow.

The Capra meeting is an annual workshop on the topic of radiation reaction in general relativity. The primary focus of these workshops is the development of the gravitational self-force approach to model extreme mass ratio inspirals and further our understanding of the two-body problem in general relativity. This is done in synergy with other well known modeling techniques such as post-Newtonian theory and numerical relativity. The canonical example of an extreme mass-ratio Inspiral (EMRI) is the inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a supermassive black hole. Gravitational waves from these systems are a promising target for the future space-based detector LISA, which is currently scheduled to launch in the mid-2030’s by the European Space Agency with support from NASA. The study of radiation reaction and  self-force is not limited to EMRIs, and a range of topics and applications to other areas of gravitational physics have been discussed at past Capra meetings; an example is the scattering of massive particles, which is currently an active area of research. The format of the meeting is an amalgamation of a daily invited review talk, short contributed talks and organized discussion sessions. The tradition of the Capra meetings is that there is no registration fee for participating.

At the Capra meetings we provide equal opportunities regardless of gender, age, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, civil status, or family status.  We encourage all those with an interest in research on self-force and extreme mass-ratio inspirals to register for this meeting and apply to contribute a talk by submitting an abstract. Past and current attendees should encourage a broad spectrum of their colleagues to apply.

The 10th International Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology (ICGC) will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, India during December 6 - 9, 2023. Since its inception in 1987, ICGC meetings are held once in four years and are organised by the Indian Association for General Relativity and Gravitation (IAGRG). The tenth edition of this conference at IIT Guwahati aims to bring together experts working in the area of Gravitation and Cosmology to discuss the recent developments, present status and exchange ideas while providing young researchers from India an opportunity for interaction with experts. The programme will have a series of plenary lectures, with parallel and poster sessions.

Topics to be covered during the meeting:

• Classical & Quantum Gravity
• Gravitational Waves
• Astrophysical Relativity
• Cosmology

Starts 06.12.2023, 09:00
Ends 09.12.2023, 18:00
at IIT Guwahati, Asia/Kolkata
