Gravitation and Cosmology Mini Workshop

 

Date: 18th-19th, February, 2005

Place: Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica

Description

The purpose of the workshop is to generate research activities and collaborations in gravity, black hole physics and cosmology. In particular: evaluate the results obtained so far, point out open problems, and discuss the most promising directions of development.
