10th–14th September 2018
Prague, Czech Republic
This school will feature a set of advanced lecture courses around the theme of gravity given by experts in the field. The courses will be aimed at advanced graduate students and young postdocs with a strong interest in the theoretical aspect of gravity and applications of the theory to modelling to the universe.
The school is co-organised by CEICO, a new institute at the Czech Academy of Sciences for research in cosmology, gravity and fundamental physics and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague. We are bringing eminent lecturers from the global community and hope to foster a diverse audience. There will be limited space for the presentation of a poster, but no submitted talks by participants are planned.
There is no registration fee, but participants should sort out their own accommodation (see Venue and Accommodation).
You can download the Gravity@Prague poster in low and high resolution.

Lectures will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Troja, Prague 8.
The closest bus stops are Pelc Tyrolka (bus line 112) and Kuchyňka (bus line 201). The closest station is Nádraží Holešovice, reached by the Metro Line C (red line) and several tram lines, from which one can take the bus 201 or walk about 1.5km across the Troja Bridge (Trojský Most) or the Bridge of the Barricade Fighters (Most Barikádníků). Google Maps has the Prague public transportation timetables and can be reliably used to gauge travel time when choosing accommodation.
Participants are expected to sort out their accommodation; we recommend to book your stay well in advance as September is still high season in Prague.
Tourist information about Prague and the Czech Republic can be found on many comprehensive resources online, such as Wikivoyage (Czech Republic and Prague) and the official Prague tourist website.
More about events and culture in Prague can be found on expats.cz and GoOut.
A welcome reception at the bistro of the Jatka 78 theatre on Sunday, 9 September at 18:00 before the lectures start.
A social dinner at Pavilon Grébovka in the evening of Wednesday 12 September.
These two events will be free to participants. Significant others are welcome at own cost (850 CZK for the reception and 1000 CZK for the dinner).
Registrations are now closed.
