5th Central European Relativity Seminar
February 26 - 28, 2015
The 5th Central European Relativity Seminar will be held in Budapest at the headquarters of the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences, between February 26 - 28 February, 2015.
This is the fifth seminar of a series initiated at the ESI (Vienna) January 27 - 29, 2011, which has been followed by a seminar in Cracow February 2 - 4, 2012, one in Golm February 7 - 9, 2013, and one at ESI on February 27-March 1, 2014.
This series of seminars is designed to provide a forum for younger researchers to present their work, and to expand their research horizons. The main geographical basin of attraction is Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Germany.
The main part of the scientific program consists of seminars by young researchers selected on the basis of submitted abstracts. The speakers will be chosen mainly amongst graduate students and post-docs. We anticipate about 24 talks of 20 minutes each. A few longer talks might replace some of the shorter ones if scientifically or pedagogically desirable. The meeting starts at 13:30 on Thursday, 26 February—so arrival in Budapest on February 26 in the morning is compatible with the schedule of the meeting—and it ends at 12:30 on Saturday, 28 February.
The scientific program on Friday, 27 February will be closed by an evening section comprised by two distinguished public lectures. The first one will be held by Robert Wald under the title Black Holes and Thermodynamics from 17:00. This will be followed by a tribute to Zoltán's Perjés accomplishments in general relativity. This commemorative talk will be held by one of Zoltán's closest friends, George Sparling from 18:00.
All seminars and lectures will take place at “Nagyterem” (large lecture hall) at the headquarters of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences https://mta.hu/english/ Budapest, Széchenyi István tér 9 (visit the map).
For Friday evening (27 February, 2015) a dinner will be arranged for the participants of cers5 at the restaurant of the Academy Club. For those who register for this event a three courses dinner, including a good selection of wines, will be provided at the location http://www.akademiaklub.hu/etterem/ The dinner will start soon after the closing of the evening section on Friday.
