12th Eastern Gravity Meeting Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY 2009 June 15-16 http://ccrg.rit.edu/~EGM2009/ EGM2009@ccrg.rit.edu Announcement The 12th Eastern Gravity Meeting will be held at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, hosted by the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation and co-sponsored by RIT's School of Mathematical Sciences and Department of Physics. Participation is encouraged by researchers -- especially students -- in all areas of gravitational physics, including classical, quantum, theory, observation, computation and experiment. Since this is a regional meeting, most participants are expected to be from the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada, but all are welcome. Talks The meeting will follow the format of previous Eastern Gravity Meetings (and other regional gravity meetings such as the Pacific Coast Gravity Meetings and Midwest Relativity Meetings): All presentations will be the same length (probably 10-15 minutes), and every effort will be made to accommodate all submissions. Student Prize There will be a $200 prize for the best talk by a student, provided by the APS Topical Group on Gravitation. Registration In the tradition of past EGMs, no registration fee will be charged (and no financial support will be provided), but attendees will be encouraged to register to enable a head count for the coffee breaks. Contact Further questions can be directed to the local organizing committee at EGM2009@ccrg.rit.edu and up-to-date information can be found at the conference website: http://ccrg.rit.edu/~EGM2009/
