About

The International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation is organised every three years under the guidance of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. It is the principal international meeting for scientists working in all areas of relativity and gravitation.  

The Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves is organised every two years under the guidance of the Gravitational Wave International Committee. It is the principal international meeting for scientists working in all areas of gravitational-wave science.  

In 2025, the 24th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR24) and the 16th Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves (Amaldi16) will be held together as a joint meeting, bringing together experts from across classical and quantum gravity, mathematical and applied relativity, gravitational-wave instrumentation and data analysis, multimessenger astronomy, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, as well as education, outreach and community building in support of these areas.  

The GR–Amaldi Meeting will be held as a primarily in-person event at the Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow. Online resources will be made freely available after the event. Meeting organisation is led by the Institute for Gravitational Research at the University of Glasgow and the Institute of Physics. 

Preceding the main meeting, there will be an Early Career Workshop organised in partnership with the Gravitational-Wave Early Career Scientists. The ECR Workshop will take place 10–12 July 2025 at the University of Glasgow. It will consist of two days of invited talks, panel discussions and tutorials, and one day of networking and social activities in advance of GR–Amaldi. The ECR Workshop aims to provide attendees with scientific and soft skills, and support them in becoming the next generation of leading scientists.
