We are pleased to announce that the 19th workshop on General Relativity and Gravitation (JGRG19) will be held in Tokyo.
This is one of a series of JGRG workshops held in Japan every year since 1991, which has provided a place where people can exchange ideas and pursue future trends of research. The workshop will cover a wide area of research related to general relativity.
A tentative list of invited speakers is given below.

Martin Bojowald (Penn State, USA) [Quantum Gravity]
Ben Craps (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)
[Cosmological Singularity Problem]
