The first meeting of the Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics Network will take place at Aveiro University, from 9-13 July 2012. This meeting will bring together researchers from Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the USA, to discuss the state of the art in relativistic gravity and its application in various contexts, ranging from astrophysics to particle physics, using both anaytical and numerical techniques. See the meeting movie!

Researchers that do not participate in the network but interested in attending the meeting are invited to contact the local organisers.
