The program of the school includes series of main lectures, workshop and poster session. The following programme is tentative and it will be updated regularly. 

Courses

Series of lectures, devoted to the foundations, includes:

Salvatore Capozziello - Mathematical Foundations of Metric-Affine Theories of Gravity

Demeter Krupka - The Variational Foundations of General Relativity Theory (PDF Abstract)

A research monograph on mathematical foundations of general relativity theory, including the series of lectures (Capozziello, Krupka), is planned for publishing by Atlantis Press scientific publisher.

Workshop

The goal is to present recent results in mathematics and general relativity theory, its extensions, and applications. Presentations of posters are also possible. The concrete workshop program of oral contributions will be scheduled with respect to the number of registered talks.

An issue of the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics (World Scientific), including contributions presented at the summer school, will be published under standard review process.

The book of extended abstracts including courses lectures, workshop contributions and posters will be published before the school and also, after possible extension, after the school. Please send a LaTeX file of an extended abstract to milan.demko@unipo.sk not later than 1 August 2015 (see the sample PDF / TeX ).

Social events

On Wednesday 19., we offer two kinds of trips, either Spis Castle and Town of Levoca, or the Tatra mountains hike to Hrebienok and its surroundings. For the details, see PDF.

On Thursday 20. evening, a conference dinner (barbecue) will take place near the summer school venue in Stara Lesna.
