Gr@v is a team of researchers, based at the Mathematics and Physics Department of Aveiro University, Portugal, working on strong gravity and high energy physics. The group was established in 2010. In January 2015 Gr@v integrated the FCT funded CIDMA research unit (UIDB/04106/2020 and UIDP/04106/2020), as the Gravitational Geometry and Dynamics research group. The group scientific coordinator is C. Herdeiro.
The XV Black Holes Workshop took place at ISCTE in Lisbon, with a record number of participants and communications (group photo attached). The next edition will take place in Porto, at the Faculty of Engineering, in the 19-20 December 2023.
Merry Xmas and happy holidays from our team. Photo from the group Xmas lunch on 16 December 2022, with some collaborators and our wonderful secretary Cristina Grosso.
The last five sessions of the Gr@v group seminars are now on YouTube in our dedicated channel https://www.youtube.com/@Gravchannel. These include the talks from Guilherme Raposo (University of Aveiro), Roberto Emparan (ICREA and Univeristy of Barcelona), Daniela Doneva (University of Tubingen), Andrew Coates (Koc University) and Renate Loll (Radboud University).

On December 5, Gr@v member Lorenzo Annulli gave an outreach seminar at Universidade Federal do Pará, in the beautiful setting of Salinópolis. The seminar (in Portuguese) focused on gravitational waves and their physics. He was hosted by Prof. Carolina Benone, a former Gr@v member and current collaborator, and Prof. Caio Macedo.
The Madrid Winter Workshop took place at Complutense University, Madrid, from 12-15 December 2023. C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers.
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).
Gr@v member P. Cunha presented an invited seminar in the Physics Department of the University of Vienna.
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.
