This event has two goals: the training of the new generation of researchers and a discussion of the state of the art of different research programs and experimental platforms related to analog gravity. The events will be held in the ‘Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual’ and it is intended to stimulate the exchange of ideas between junior and senior scientists, with both theoretical and experimental expertise.
The Center provides facilities and an agreeable atmosphere to allow the participants to carry their work during the meeting.
Benasque is a beautiful mountain village located 1140 m above sea level, in a valley at the heart of the Pyrenees, about 140 km north of the city of Zaragoza. The beautiful landscapes, scenic hikes and the proximity to the highest peaks in the Pyrenees make Benasque one of the main tourist sites in the region.
The center is child friendly and families are welcome. The center does not offer day care, but can help families to find babysitters if requested.
The registration deadline for this even is March 15th 2023.
