PCGM 23

What's New: the 23rd PCGM will run from 9:00am to 5:30pm on March 16 and 17. Here's the FINAL SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM.

What's Still Relevant: a list of confirmed participants. See also our practical information page on lodging, dining, directions, parking, and computer support for the 23rd Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting.

Announcement

The 23rd Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting will be held at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, on March 16 and 17, 2007. In keeping with its tradition, this will be an open, relaxed, and informal conference. We are inviting researchers and students interested in all areas of gravitational physics: classical and quantum gravity, general relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, quantum cosmology, gravitational waves, and experimental gravity. Because this is a regional meeting, many attendees will be from the western United States, but all are welcome.

Talks

There will be no plenary lectures. Instead, all participants, and especially postdocs and graduate students, are encouraged to contribute short, introductory talks on their current research, with the aim of fostering communication and understanding among gravitational physicists with different backgrounds. Everyone who requests to speak will be given equal time (plausibly between 10 and 15 minutes, including a question period). The Jocelyn Bell Burnell prize will be awarded for the best talk given by a student at the meeting.

Program

The 23rd PCGM will begin at 9am, on March 16, in room 201 E. Bridge, Caltech (see the practical information page for directions). The Scientific Program will be posted on this website shortly before the meeting, and will be distributed to participants on March 16.

Registration - CLOSED

There will be no registration fee, but no financial support is available for travel expenses. We request that participants register, and submit the titles of their talks if they wish to speak, by March 14, 2007. Speakers also please select a keyword from the list provided on the registration form that best represents your field. Registration can be completed online on this website (use the form below), or by e-mailing pcgm23@tapir.caltech.edu.
