This is the first announcement for the IXth edition of the Black Holes Workshop, which will take place in 19-20 December 2016, in Guimaraes, Portugal.

The Black Holes Workshops gather researchers working on mathematical and physical problems of gravitation, both in its classical and quantum aspects, as well as on superstrings, cosmology and astrophysics, and stimulate the interaction between them.

The ninth edition of the Black Holes Workshop invites researchers on black holes in all their aspects to participate.

These meetings are informal and there is no registration fee. The workshop will consist of contributed talks by the participants. There will be a social dinner on Monday evening (December 19th).

This year’s edition includes, for the first time, the “Alberto Prize” awarding to a young researcher, by the Portuguese Society of Relativity and Gravitation (https://sprg.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/).

We invite you to register and submit your contribution at the meeting’s webpage (http://w3.math.uminho.pt/bhw9)

Please forward this message to all interested colleagues.

We hope to see you in Guimaraes!
