Friedmann Readings, a scientific conference dedicated to the 125th birthday of Alexander Friedmann (who worked at Perm University in 1918-1920), will be held on 24-28 June 2013 at Perm State National Research University (PSNRU). The conference is organized by PSNRU, the Institute of Continuum Mechanics of the Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Gravitational Society.

The purpose of the conference is to discuss the latest achievements in the theory of gravity, cosmology, modern hydrodynamics, mechanics, and physical and mathematical problems of meteorology. The scientific program of the conference will consist of plenary and sectional talks as well as informal discussions. It is planned to publish the materials of the conference before its beginning.

The working languages of the conference are Russian and English.

The first Friedmann readings took place at Perm State University in 1988, the second ones in 1998.
