Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (ASGRG). Our primary purpose is to provide a regional forum for members to discuss general relativity, to foster links between related societies, and to act as an advocate for the profession.
We bring together researchers working in a wide range of areas within mathematical, theoretical and experimental gravitation. Particular research interests include: mathematical and numerical relativity; exact solutions; quantum gravity; cosmology and experimental relativity; gravitational wave detection and data analysis; and relativistic astrophysics.
We are recognised as the regional society of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation, and are a cognate member of the Australian Institute of Phyics.

This year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Society's founding with a 2-day conference:
30 Years of Gravity Research in Australasia: Past Reflections and Future Ambitions
The conference took place on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September, 2024, and was hosted by the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
The next Australasian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (ACGRG) organised by the Society is scheduled to be held in 2025.
