BritGrav4

The fourth British Gravity Meeting is to be hosted by
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
CCLRC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxfordshire
15th - 17th September, 2004.

This meeting is supported by
The CCLRC Centre for Fundamental Physics
The Institute of Physics (Gravitational Physics subgroup) and
Classical and Quantum Gravity

The meeting will bring together, in an informal setting, the active gravitational research community in the UK and beyond and will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. Current research students and postdoctoral researchers from UK universities are particularly encouraged to participate in the meeting.

The topic of the meeting is General Relativity and Gravity including mathematical cosmology and gravitational physics covering classical, quantum and experimental aspects.
Participants are invited to give a short talk on some recent work. In addition there will be pedagogic lectures by international leaders in the field. The number and duration of the talks will be fixed once we know the total number of applicants. If your talk is based on a preprint that is available at the arXiv.org archives, please state its archive/yymmnnn registration number with the submission of your abstract. For the purpose of presentation, data and overhead projectors and boards will be available.
