The 10th meeting on Field Theoretic Aspects of Gravity will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali (IISERM), during December 8 - 13, 2014.
Field Theoretic Aspects of Gravity (FTAG) is a series of meeting of field theorists, general relativists and gravity researchers in India. Previous FTAG meetings have been arranged in premier research institutes like IUCAA (pune), IMSc (at RAC Ooty), CUSAT (Cochin University), North Bengal University (at Pelling), University of Delhi (at Shimla), HRI (Allahabad), BITS-Pilani (Goa campus). A number of distinguished scientists and scholars have attended these meetings. The emphasis for FTAG meetings is informal discussions of issues related to gravitational physics.
About the Institute: Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali is one of the five institutes established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The basic mandate of the IISERs is to carry out research in frontier areas of science and to provide quality science education at the undergraduate and at the postgraduate level. IISER Mohali started functioning from a transit campus in 2007 and has moved all its operations to the campus in Sector 81, Mohali (renamed SAS Nagar). The institute has close to 75 faculty members, around 550 students in the BS-MS programme and around 200 PhD and Integrated PhD students. Research and teaching in biological sciences, chemical sciences, earth and environmental science, humanities and social sciences, mathematical sciences and physical sciences is being carried out at the institute.
