The GCGM returns to the University of Mississippi! The 11th Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting will be held at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, MS, on April 11 and 12, 2025. In keeping with its tradition, this will be an open, relaxed, and informal conference.

We are inviting researchers and students interested in all areas of gravitational physics: classical and quantum gravity, general relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, quantum cosmology, gravitational waves, and experimental gravity. Because this is a regional meeting, many attendees will be from the southeastern United States, but all are welcome.

Talks

Following the usual tradition all participants, and especially postdocs and graduate students, are encouraged to contribute short, introductory talks on their current research, with the aim of fostering communication and understanding among gravitational physicists with different backgrounds. A prize (sponsored by the APS Division of Gravitational Physics) will be awarded for the best talk given by a student at the meeting.
Deadlines
Prospective speakers should register by March 01 to receive full consideration. Late applicants will be considered at the discretion of the organizers. See the website for details.

Invitation to the RAS specialist discussion meeting on “Gravitational wave analysis in the era of machine learning”. The meeting will take place at the Geological Society in London on the 10th of January.

You can find the event page with more information here: https://ras.ac.uk/events-and-meetings/ras-meetings/gravitational-wave-analysis-era-machine-learning.

The meeting will be based on panel-led discussions focusing on the use of machine learning in gravitational wave science. We will focus on topics such as the interpretability of ML-derived results, the robustness of ML models to uncertainties, and the integration of ML algorithms into existing and future GW search and analysis pipelines.

If you would like to present a poster or sparkler talk, please submit your abstract in the form below. You can also use the form to register your interest in the meeting and to receive updates.

Registration for the meeting will be via the RAS meeting event page and will open in mid-December.

The Nijmegen meeting will be the 15th seminar of a series initiated at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute in Vienna in 2011. This series of seminars is designed to provide a forum for younger researchers to present their work, and to expand their research horizons, in all topics of research in general relativity. While the main geographical basin of attraction is Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Germany, we welcome researchers from all countries.

Schedule, abstracts and participants
The programme will include keynote lectures by Heino Falcke (Radboud University), Christoph Kehle (MIT), and Erik Verlinde* (Amsterdam). *To be confirmed.

Local information
The meeting will take place at the Faculty of Science of the Radboud University, Heyendaalseweg 135, 6545 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

The CoCoNuT Meeting is a series of workshops aiming at fostering collaboration among relativistic astrophysicsgroups, specially within Europe. The series has been taking place yearly since 2009 and this year is hosted by the University of Valencia. 

This edition will be focused on gravitational waves, in particular in the modelling and detection of compact objects with matter, such as binary neutron stars, supernovae and neutron stars. The different topics will be introduced by the invited speakers, followed by contributed talks.

The meeting will take place at the ADEIT, the University-Enterprise Foundation of the University of Valencia.

MultiDark2024 is the annual meeting of the Spanish network, Multidark, funded by the Agencia Estatal Española del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (RED2022-134411-T). This time will be joint with a special meeting of RENATA (Red Nacional de astroparticulas ) in order to prepare the update on the European Strategy of Particle Physics. 

Scientific Programme
This is a special meeting joint with the RENATA network to prepare the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. In this meeting, the first two days will be dedicated to the MultiDark/RENATA update of the European Strategy, with review talks on the different topics covered by RENATA and a discussion session at the end of the second day.

The next two days will be dedicated to report recent activities of the different groups composing the current MultiDark network (see https://projects.ift.uam-csic.es/multidark_new/working_groups/ for information about the groups).

All talks will be plenary, lasting 15-20 minutes each, with time for questions and discussions. We are still preparing a final version of the program but when ready it will appear here.

MultiDark meetings are crucial for sharing new ideas, advances, and state-of-the-art knowledge in astroparticle physics. The scientific program will cover a range of topics in DM research, showcasing the latest results from the different participating groups, which intersect particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and instrumentation.

The Institute of Space Sciences is organising the LISA-Spain Meeting 2024 at the campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, on October 15-16, 2024.

The LISA mission has been adopted in January 2024 and has just entered the implementation phase. There are many challenges ahead of us before the mission launch in 2035.

The main goal of the meeting is to bring together scientists interesting in participating the Spanish contribution to LISA, from the instrument/experiments to the Science exploitation. Everyone interested is invited to attend and contribute. The Registration website is here:
