Read the U. Aveiro coverage on the Stanford University researcher's ranking, led by John P. A. Ioannidis, that features several Gr@v members.

A call for two 10 months research grants in Strong Gravity/High Energy Physics, for M.Sc. holders enrolled in a doctoral programme at Aveiro University, within the research grant “Testing the Kerr hypothesis with gravitational waves and lensing", PTDC/FIS-AST/3041/2020, is open from 1 to 20 December 2021.  See attached document for details (in Portuguese) or the Euraxess announcement (in Portuguese and English) here.

Nico Sanchis-Gual was one of the 8 selected researchers for a junior grant, nationwide, within 74 applicants in the Physical Sciences panel, in the fourth individual call for scientific employment stimulus, promoted by FCT. Congratulations Nico!

Our group had the pleasure to host the visits of Prof. Tiberiu Harko and Prof. Miguel Angel Sanchis Lozano, who presented stimulating seminars on modified gravity and particle physics/cosmology.

Nuno Santos, a Gr@v Ph.D. student was an invited speaker at the Grav@Zon group meeting. The talk is available in YouTube.

The LIGO-Virgo-Kagra collaboration released the data of the O3b science run, announcing 35 new candidate events. The corresponding catalogue, which is co-authored by Gr@v member N. Sanchis-Gual can be found here. See also the nice periodic table type organization of the events here.

The 2021 update of the Stanford/Elsevier author database of the standardized citation indicators, features Gr@v members C. Herdeiro and E. Radu in the career long data and (additionally) P. Cunha and N. Sanchis-Gual in the single year 2020 data. All information and data files available here.

Great COST Advanced School on the physics of dark matter and the hidden sector, at Lund, Sweeden, co-organized by A. Morais. In the photo the Gr@v team members that attended the school with some close collaborators.

P. Cunha was one of the invited speakers of the workshop "Regular black holes in quantum gravity and beyond: from theory to shadow observations", held from October 18-21, 2021.
