Program
This workshop is going to be amazing! The main sessions will be a mixture of talks/discussions/collaborations.
Early career scientists are invited to introduce themselves with a "three minutes three slides" format. There will be prized for the best flash talks, kindly sponsored by the Italian Society for General Relativity and Gravitational Physics (SIGRAV).
