On November 4, 1915, Albert Einstein presented at the Prussian Academy of Sciences the first of four lectures about a covariant formulation of his proposal to modify the Newtonian physics of the universal gravitation. Since then, General Relativity has become the paradigm of any new theory of gravitation.

To celebrate this centenary and in association to the celebration of the International Year of Light we are organizing a scientific meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, named GR 100 in Rio, which will take place at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas (CBPF/MCTI), in the period of July 27 – 31, 2015.
