About this workshop

This workshop is intended to bring together researchers in different branches of theoretical physics to discuss about the nature of Gravitation and Quantum Fields, and their relation with Black Holes.

It will be held at the Department of Theoretical Physics/IFIC of the University of Valencia/CSIC during the week 17-21 of December of 2007.

- There will be a pedagogical lecture aimed at students -
