Quantum Fields and Gravity

Friday 3 Feb 2023, 09:00 → 20:05 Europe/Madrid

This is a conference in honor of Prof. Enric Verdaguer's 73rd birthday, organized by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences and the Department of Quantum Physis and Astrophysics at the University of Barcelona. Several international speakers will cover topics on which Enric has worked and made significant contributions over time, in the context of General Relativity and the exploration of quantum effects in strong gravitational fields.
