The 15th East Coast Gravity Meeting (ECG) will be
held at Syracuse University,
Saturday April 21th and Sunday April 22th, 2012. The
meeting is meant to be an informal gathering of researchers
working in all fields relating to gravity and cosmology.
In addition, this year's meeting will have an additional day of festivities (Friday April 20th) to honor the accomplishments of Josh Goldberg. Josh has made many significant contributions to furthering our knowledge of gravity, some of which were recently featured in a special issue General Relativity and Gravitation. Beginning Friday afternoon we will have a half day of invited talks. Speakers will include: John Stachel, Peter Saulson, Mark Trodden, and Ted Newman. Following the talks there will be a dinner in honor of Josh, followed by an after-dinner speech by Ted Newman. ECGM participants are encouraged to attend, however it will be up to participants to cover their own expenses.
Traditionally, ECG meetings have consisted of 10-15 minute talks, however the actual time allotted for each talk will vary depending on the number of attendees. Students are strongly encouraged to give a presentation, as the regional meetings are intended to serve as a less formal, and thus hopefully friendlier environment to give a talk than larger meetings. Also, the best student presentation will receive a $200 award.
