XV School of the Division of Gravitation and Mathematical Physics

November 3–7, 2025 · Playa del Carmen, México

The Gravitation and Mathematical Physics Division (DGFM) of the Mexican Physical Society (SMF) is organizing the XV edition of its Mexican School. Since 1994, the School has been held every two years, offering a unique space to exchange and discuss current ideas in gravitational physics in a pedagogical manner.

 

This year, the DGFM joins efforts with the research network New Fundamental Fields in Compact Objects (NewFunFiCO) to co-organize the event. The 2025 edition will focus on Modern Topics in Gravitation and Mathematical Physics.
