C. Herdeiro was one of the invited lecturers of the 10th school on astrophysics and gravitation, held from 2-7 September at IST-Lisbon, delivering a course on "Theoretical and Observational Cosmology".
We celebrated the end of the 2020/21 academic year with a sunny and delicious group lunch at the seaside. And it was a wonderful year for the group made science!

A call for a 1 year postdoctoral grant in High Energy Physics, within the research grant “From Higgs phenomenology to the unification of fundamental interactions", PTDC / FIS-PAR / 31000/2017, is open from the 19th of April to the 14th of May 2021. See the eracareers announcement (in Portuguese and English) here.
Celebrating the 2020 Physics Nobel Prize for Black Holes, here is an outreach article published in Gazeta de Física (published by the Portuguese Physics Society) by C. Herdeiro. The article pdf can be found in attachment.
Celebrating the international day of Mathematics, March 14th, which is also Einstein's birthday, C. Herdeiro gave an outreach talk in the Maths Dept. of Aveiro on "Pi and Einstein: from the Universe of Geometry to the Geometry of the Universe". It can be seen here (in Portuguese).
Within the context of the European COST Action GWverse, the community has sumarized the state of the art and propects for the future in a comprehensive roadmap: Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap. The GWverse roadmap, co-authored by our group, has been selected by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) as one of the journal's Highlights of 2019-2020.
Gr@v members co-author a paper in Physical Review Letters suggesting GW190521 may be a hint of a new dark matter particle.
The December 2020 issue of the Aveiro University magazine "Linhas UA" includes a feature article covering work at Gr@v and the mysteries of black holes. Check this issue here.
