Dear member of the gravitation research community,
the 35th Midwest Relativity Meeting will be held at the University of Guelph on October 31 to November 2 (Friday to Sunday), 2025. The last day will be a scientific celebration of Eric Poisson’s 60th birthday with invited speakers.
The Midwest Relativity Meetings bring together researchers from across the Midwest and beyond to discuss a broad range of topics in gravitational physics, including cosmology, gravitational waves, numerical relativity, and quantum gravity. The primary focus of this meeting is on graduate students and postdocs, all of whom are encouraged to give talks. We encourage participation from under-represented groups, and we expect to accept all abstract submissions as long as time permits. The Blue Apple Award, sponsored by APS DGRAV, will be given for the best graduate student talk.
The invited speakers at EricFest are Leor Barack, Patrick Brady, Katerina Chatziioannou, Eanna Flanagan, Scott Hughes, Sharon Morsink, Frans Pretorius, Jocelyn Read, Clifford Will.
Registration is now open, and the call for abstracts will stay open until October 15. There will be a conference dinner on the Sunday evening (November 2) to wrap-up EricFest; we’re told that some roasting (the figurative kind) might be involved. Registration for dinner is also open.
The conference website is https://indico.global/event/14302/.
Please join us in Guelph for this great occasion!
On behalf of the organizers, Beatrice Bonga, Roland Haas, Philippe Landry, Luis Lehner, Tristan Pitre, Eric Poisson, Adam Pound, Berend Schneider.
