The Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) announced the 6th edition of the individual call to scientific employment stimulus, open from April 4th to May 3rd 2023, for researchers with a Ph.D. and including four different seniority levels. Applications require the support of a host research unit. Researchers wishing to join our group should contact the group coordinator (C. Herdeiro).
The recent Gr@v work on the fate of the Light Ring instability (arXiv:2207.13713) will appear in the prestigious Physical Review Letters.
Jose Blázquez-Salcedo (Complutense, Madrid), Romain Gervalle (Tours), Fech Scen Khoo (Oldenburg) and Tigran Tchrakian (DIAS, Dublin) visited us in the week of Dec. 5 2022, and lectured in the 1 day Strong Gravity Workshop our group organized.
On November 29, Gr@v member Nuno M. Santos gave an outreach seminar at Universidade Federal do Pará (Campus Salinópolis) on the peculiar nature of black holes and the observational evidence for their existence. He was hosted by Prof. Carolina Benone, a former Gr@v member and current collaborator.
The VIII Amazoniana Workshop on Gravity and Analogue models took place from 21-25 November 2022. The video recording of the courses and lectures will soon be put online.
The Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics 2022 (XIV SILAFAE) took place in Quito, Ecuador, from 14-18 November 2022. Gr@v member C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers.
A call for a 1 year (post-doctoral) researcher position in Strong Gravity. within the research grant “Gravitational Waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors", CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open. The call closes on December 2nd 2022. See attached documents for details or the Euraxess announcement here.
Part of our group got together on Oct 28 2022 to cellebrate Eugen Radu's faculty position at U. Aveiro and to bid (temporarily) farewell to António Morais' who will embark on a half a year visit to CERN. Great food at "Mestre do Leme" in Aveiro.

The first BSM2 meeting, organized by our group, took place at Aveiro University during the week 10 to 14 of October. It was in intense week with a handful of rich discussions in hot HEP topics, a number of software tutorials and, above all, new BrainStormed ideas for future scientific projects. Recordings of all presentations and subsequent discussions can be revisited here.
