Lost in Gravity 2019

Description

Precision observations of gravitational and electromagnetic signals from astrophysical sources provide a new arena to test the nature of gravity and other interactions in regimes virtually unexplored so far, raising fundamental questions and shedding new light on old problems. With this motivation in mind, we are organising a workshop to discuss unsolved problems related to strong gravitational phenomena and tests of gravity with current and future experiments. The workshop is organised in order to have few talks each day, and maximise the time for round tables and free discussions.
