About
The Seventeenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting (MG17) was held at Aurum, the 'Gabriele d'Annunzio' University and ICRANet, in Pescara, Italy, from 7 to 12 July 2024.
Since 1975, the Marcel Grossmann Meetings on Recent Developments in Theoretical and Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, and Relativistic Field Theories 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 these 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.
MG17 gathered 601 contributions across 65 parallel sessions and daily plenary sessions, with participants from more than 60 countries.
