| Jerusalem, Israel | Marcel Grossmann |
Since 1975, the Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized in order to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativistic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions and experimental tests. The objective of theses meetings is to elicit exchange among scientists that may deepen our understanding of spacetime structures as well as to review the status of ongoing experiments aimed at testing Einstein's theory of gravitation either from the ground or from space. Previous meetings have been held in Trieste (1975) and (1979), Shanghai (1982), Rome (1985), Perth (1988), Kyoto (1991) and Stanford (1994). interested scientists should address a member from any one of the organizing committees or the conference secretariat.
Jerusalem, 22 - 27 June 1997
at the
GIVAT RAM CAMPUS, THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL
The cornerstone for Hebrew University was laid in 1918 on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem and the University opened its gates in 1925. The university operates today four campuses with nearly 23,000 students. The conference will take place in the Givat Ram campus that houses the Science faculty. Albert Einstein who help founding the University was a member of the first board of trustees. Einstein's archives are kept today at the National Library at Givat Ram.
