The workshop takes place from Sunday March 22nd, 2015 to Saturday April 4th, 2015. The first Sunday and the last Saturday are free of lectures and reserved for traveling.
The workshop is organized so that every morning there will be two lectures by each of the plenary speakers Sergio Dain, Marc Mars, Niall Ó Murchadha, and Daniel Pollack. In the afternoon, there will be exercise sessions and talks contributed by the participants.
Abstract: The general public is very interested in learning about Relativity. We will discuss to what extent it is feasible to convey central ideas without relying on years of mathematical training. In particular, I will demonstrate some strategies that might help in this endeavour.
Abstract: In many interesting strong-field situations, exact solutions to the Einstein equations are not available and perturbative methods do not apply. Here numerical simulations can provide helpful insights. There has been tremendous progress in recent years. I will describe the main methods used today, review some of the key achievements of numerical relativity, and conclude with some open problems.
