AUSTRALIAN GENERAL RELATIVITY WORKSHOP

AT AIP'2000

Sunday 10 - Friday 15 December 2000, Adelaide, South Australia

The Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation will hold a workshop in conjunction with the 14th National Congress of the Australian Institute of Physics.

FORMAT:

The AIP Congress will be holding plenary sessions in the mornings. The international plenary speaker in the area of gravitation will be
Prof. John Barrow (University of Cambridge, UK)

In the afternoons parallel workshops of cognate societies will be held. We intend to run at least one experimental and one theoretical/mathematical session. More sessions may be timetabled, depending on numbers of abstracts submitted.

The experimental session(s) on gravitational wave detection will be run jointly with the Australia Optical Society.
The theoretical session(s) are to be held in celebration of Peter Szekeres' contributions to relativity in the year of his 60th birthday. Peter - who turns 60 in August, 2000 - is well-known for his many significant contributions to many areas of relativity, including singularity theory and the colliding gravitational wave solutions and inhomogenous cosmological models which bear his name.
