Since
1993 the Rencontres du Vietnam, which is an official partner of UNESCO,
has organized international scientific conferences and schools to
foster exchanges between Vietnamese or Asia-Pacific scientists and
colleagues from other parts of the world.
The construction of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE)
in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) will have the ambitious
objective to focus on developing Science and Education, helping young
Asian students and scientists to meet with the International Science
community, bringing the opportunity to accelerate their knowledge from
attending lectures and sharing ideas with overseas high-level
counterparts.
Hot Topics in General Relativity and Gravitation
July 28th — August 3rd, 2013 • Quy Nhon, Viet Nam
This international conference will be held as part of the framework of the "Rencontres du Vietnam"
Our aims are to discuss and review recent developments on
- Astrophysics of compact objects
- Gravitational waves (experimental and theoretical)
- Experimental gravity and tests of General Relativity
- Alternative gravity theories and Cosmology related issues
The
conference will consist of plenary sessions for indepth oral
presentations (review talks and talks on specific specialised topics), parrallel and poster sessions
(contributions sollicitated or selected from abstract submission). Special emphasis
is being placed on active participation by young researchers and
post-docs. A common plenary session with the conference Cosmology in the Planck Era is planned.
