BritGrav (British Gravity Meeting) is an annual meeting, based in the United Kingdom and Ireland, for academics whose research is connected to gravitation. The meeting covers a broad range of topics, including general relativity, quantum gravity, gravitational-wave detection and astronomy, the astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars, cosmology, and experimentation.
Many of the talks are given by postdocs and graduate students, and are between 10 and 20 minutes. During BritGrav 15 at the University of Birmingham in 2015, 78% of the talks were by students and 18% were by post-docs.[1]
The first meeting was held at the University of Southampton in 2001.[2] The last meeting was organised by the University of Birmingham; following the close of the meeting, there was be a public lecture on gravitational-wave detection by James Hough.[3] The next meeting will be at the University of Nottingham.[4]
