A new procedure for abstract submission has been adopted: when submitting an abstract, it is required also to upload a PDF file with a short summary of the contribution (2 pages for posters, 4 pages for oral contributions, 10 pages for plenary talks) including a complete reference list. The main reason for this new policy is twofold. First, in this way the chairpersons will have more information to evaluate and submit to referee each contribution for acceptance as well as to allocate the appropriate time slots. Second, when the program will be finalized, before the meeting, all the summaries of the accepted contributions (possibly updated, upon chairperson decisions) will be made available to all participants via the conference web page and, after the meeting, they will be published in the MG14 Proceedings Volumes. Detailed instructions on the summary PDF preparation will be available on the abstract submission web page and will be sent via e-mail to all who already registered.
It gives us great pleasure to announce the opening of on-line registration http://www.icra.it/mg/mg14/registration.htm for the 14thMarcel Grossmann Meeting that will take place in Rome at “Sapienza” University July 12 to 18 , 2015.
The early registration fee is 350 EUR through May 25, after which the fee will be 400 EUR. The student fee is 150 EUR at any time (with certification of “Student Status”).
The preliminary poster is: http://www.icra.it/mg/mg14/MG14_poster.pdf
Abstracts for parallel session presentations must be submitted by June 1st, 2015, but preferably at the time of registration.

The Fourteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting will be held in Rome, Italy, at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, July 12-18, 2015.Since 1975, the Marcel Grossman Meetings have been organized in order to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativistic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions and experimental tests. The objective of these meetings is to elicit exchange among scientists that may deepen our understanding of space-time structures as well as to review the status of ongoing experiments aimed at testing Einstein’s theory of gravitation either from the ground or from space. Previous meetings have been held in Trieste (1975) and (1979), Shanghai (1982), Rome (1985), Perth (1988), Kyoto (1991), Stanford (1994), Jerusalem (1997), Rome (2000), Rio (2003), Berlin (2006), Paris (2009) and Stockholm (2012). Interested scientists should address a member from any one of the organizing committees or the conference secretariat.
This edition of the Marcel Grossmann Meeting marks the 100th anniversary of the Einstein equations and celebrates the International Year of Light 2015 organized by UNESCO and with the Golden Jubilee of Relativistic Astrophysics, all of which will be celebrated by MG14 and other satellite meetings (soon announced).
The meeting poster is ready and can be downloaded at:

The planning of the scientific program is in progress, with the renewal of selected past parallel sessions and the introduction of new ones.
