Programme


Early Career Workshops (10–12 July) 
The Early Career Workshop will consist of two days of workshop sessions: a mix of lectures, tutorials and discussion sessions, and one day (Saturday 12 July) of social networking. The workshop sessions will cover a mix of technical and transferable skills. The full timetable is still to be finalised.   

Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (13 July) 
A special event preceding the main meeting, we will host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on the Sunday before the GR–Amaldi meeting. This will seek to improve public access to information about the topics of the meeting, and the scientists working in the field by creating, updating and expanding Wikipedia pages. Attendees will be given training in Wikipedia editing. We especially encourage participation from participants speaking languages other than English.  

GR–Amaldi Main Meeting (14–18 July) 
The GR–Amaldi meeting will have plenaries every day to introduce key developments from a range of fields. Parallel sessions will cover each of the topics listed below. The full timetable is still to be finalised.  

There will be a rich social programme to accompany the scientific meeting. A welcome reception will be held at the Glasgow Science Centre on Monday evening. There will be a poster reception on Tuesday evening. A public lecture will be held on Wednesday evening. The meeting networking dinner will be held on Thursday evening at Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central, and accompanied by a special science ceilidh.  

Proceedings of the meeting, covering both oral and poster presentations, will be publishing in journal of Physics: Conference Series.
