VIII School of the Gravitation and Mathematical Physics Division (DGFM) of the Mexican Physical Society (SMF), December 6-12, 2009, Playa del Carmen, Q. Roo, MEXICO

Our School has as its main goal to provide an inviting arena for exchanging and discussion on top developments in gravitational physics in a pedagogical manner. In this occasion its focus will be on the confrontation between gravitational theories and the constraints coming from tests ranging from sub-millimeter to the cosmic scale. The program includes several courses and plenary talks as well as a couple of parallel sessions. The venue will be the Hotel Iberostar Quetzal located in the Riviera Maya, an inspiring place offering cultural features and natural beauty.
