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.

The full timetable is still to be finalised. Topics will include: black hole spacetimes, solving Einstein's equations, public engagement, academic writing, quantum theories of gravity, alternative theories of gravity, electromagnetic observations of relativistic systems, cosmological surveys, postdoc fellowships; faculty positions, supervising students, observational tests of GR, gravitational-wave experiments, data analysis; CV writing, and careers outside academia.

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. The event will be held in the historic McMillan Round Reading Room at the University of Glasgow. Attention will be given to biographies underrepresented on Wikipedia, such as women in science. Attendees will be given training in Wikipedia editing. We especially encourage participation from participants speaking languages other than English.

GWIC Meeting (13 July)

For members of the Gravitational Wave International Committee, we will host a committee meeting at the University of Glasgow on the Sunday before the meeting. Participants are encouraged to stop by the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to lend their expertise and insights. Registration will be handled separately from the rest of the programme.

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 meeting topics. 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.

Science and art exhibition

You are invited to share your creativity by taking part in our science and art exhibition of artworks related to the topics of GR–Amaldi including 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.

We look forward to receiving your artistic work inspired by the topics of GR–Amaldi, and sharing them with our conference attendees. Submission details will be announced shortly.
