Atlantic General Relativity 2022 will be hosted by Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador and held online from May 16-19.
It is the latest in the series of Atlantic GR conferences that have been organized annually by the Atlantic Canadian relativity community for the last three decades. These are broadly based meetings covering the full range of gravitational research including mathematical and numerical relativity, all approaches to quantum gravity, gravitational waves, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. These meetings are open to all. Post-docs and students are particularly encouraged to attend and share their research.

The conference is now over!
Competition results may be found under the Competition tab.
Links to the mini-course lectures can be found under the MiniCourses tab.
As has been customary for the last few years, the meeting will be split into two parts:
- May 16-17: Invited Mini-Courses (each a three-hour series of lectures)
- May 18-19: Contributed Presentations (all talks are 20 minutes)
There will be a competition (with monetary prizes) for the best MSc/undergrad, PhD and post-docs talks.
Mini-Course Speakers
There will be three mini-courses. The speakers and their topics are
- Carla Cederbaum (University of Tübingen) Where is the center of mass of an isolated relativistic object?
- William East (Perimeter Institute) How to extract energy from a black hole
- Daniel Pook-Kolb (AEI, Hannover) Introduction to black hole apparent horizons in numerical relativity
Organization
Atlantic GR 2022 is committed to diversity and inclusivity. We welcome all participants including women, people of any sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, Indigenous peoples, visible minorities/racialized people, and people with disabilities.
