The 15th British Gravity (BritGrav) Meeting will be held on 20–21 April 2015 at the University of Birmingham, organised by the Gravitational Physics Group.

The meeting covers all areas of gravity, classical and quantum, including astrophysics, cosmology, mathematical general relativity, gravitational-wave data analysis and instrumentation. It is intended to bring together the entire gravitational research community to further collaboration and allow young researchers to showcase their work.

We hope that all interested graduate students and post-docs will be able to give talks; there shall be talks by others if time allows. There is a prize for the best student talk sponsored by Classical and Quantum Gravity.

There is no conference fee, but participants are responsible for their own accommodation, meals and travel. Financial support for students from British or Irish institutions is available courtesy of the IOP. Tea and coffee will be provided in breaks.

The final deadline abstract submission is 20 March 2015 and the last chance to register is 17 April 2015.

The 13th BritGrav (British Gravity) Meeting will be held on 3-4 April 2013 in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield. The meeting covers all areas of classical and quantum gravity including astrophysics, cosmology and experiments, and is intended to further collaborations and allow young researchers to showcase their work. The programme will begin with coffee at 10:30am on Wednesday 3rd April and will end at about 5pm on Thursday 4th April. The programme will include a reception generously sponsored by Classical and Quantum Gravity.

There is no registration fee, and participants are responsible for their own accommodation, meals and travel. We hope that all PhD students and postdocs who wish to will be able to give a talk, and we will schedule talks by others if time allows. Faculty are reassured that by submitting an abstract they will not be depriving a student of the opportunity to talk.

If you plan to participate, please register before Friday 15th March at the website:

BritGrav 10 will take place in Dublin on April 6th and 7th, 2010. The conference is jointly hosted by the School of Mathematical Sciences, Dublin City University and the School of Mathematical Sciences, University College Dublin. It will take place in the Gallery at the Helix on the DCU campus.

The BritGrav conference series is dedicated to bringing together the gravitational research community of the UK, Ireland and beyond, and to providing a forum for the exchange of ideas. It aims to cover all aspects of gravitational physics — both theoretical and experimental — and related areas of mathematics. In particular, the series provides an opportunity for young researchers, both students and post-docs, to present their work to the regional gravitational research community.

The conference will open at 10.30am (registration and coffee) on Tuesday 6th April, with the scientific programme commencing at 11.10am. The conference will close at 4.30pm on Wednesday 7th.

Information regarding registration, abstract submission, travel and accommodation can be found at
http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/britgrav10/

In selecting the programme, preference will be given to junior researchers (postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers). There will be a prize, sponsored by Classical and Quantum Gravity, for the best student presentation.

A limited amount of funding will be available from the Gravitational Physics Group of the Institute of Physics to assist with travel and accommodation costs for research students. See the conference registration webpage for details.

Registration will open in the first week of February; please check the website for updates.
