Dear colleagues,
We are please to announce the Madrid Winter Workshop on Gravitational Physics, the 7th Edition of a series of workshops held in collaboration between Valencia and Madrid (Complutense) Universities (Spain).
The workshop will take place this time at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) on December 14th-16th, 2026 and, as in previous editions, it will be held within a dual format, with on-site talks and online contributions as well. Everything will be broadcast live.
In this seventh edition, we would like to maintain the informal and collaborative spirit of the previous editions, with a limited number of participants between 60 and 80. The idea of the workshop is to encourage everyone, from seniors to less-experienced students and postdocs, to present some results obtained during the last year that they find particularly relevant/interesting/easy to discuss in a relaxed way, possibly using the pdf of a paper already on arXiv or some handwritten notes of a current work in progress, and addressing a few simple questions:
1.- What is it about?
2.- Why is it important? (An explanation of what is unique and/or timely about this topic and the difference it might make with respect to previous work).
3.- Perspectives.
The contributions are encouraged to be conceptual presentations with minimal calculations (if possible). The subsequent discussion and questions could extend as much as needed, depending on the audience participation. To be more concrete, we expect talks of about 10-15′, though specific details will be settled once we have a clear picture of the number of participants. The idea is to have talks not too focused on technicalities (if the topic allows, obviously) but have more discussions which could lead to new works/collaborations in 2027 and beyond.
A few selected speakers will provide more extended talks on particularly hot topics.
A tentative deadline for abstract submission has been set on November 15th (confirmation of acceptance of talk will be made soon after) and for registration on November 25th.
There is no registration fee to participate in this workshop.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Diego Rubiera-Garcia (on behalf of the LOC)
