Description: The 2023 Australia-NZ Student Conference on General Relativity is an online event for postgraduate students in General Relativity, Cosmology, and Astrophysics. Research in general relativity draws on many sources from differential geometry and classical field theory to astrophysical observations and techniques in numerical analysis. We hope to provide a platform for postgraduate students with expertise in these diverse fields to share their research and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration across the Tasman.

Along with student talks, we will hear from a number of researchers in Australia and New Zealand who work with general relativity and there will be spaces for networking and discussion. Local student hubs are also being organised, so you can attend together with other students in your region.
