(Valencia, February 1-7, 2009)
The purpose of this workshop is to gather leading experts in gravitational and both theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics to discuss possible routes to observe the analog of the Hawking effect in condensed matter systems, with special emphasis to Bose-Einstein condensates.
The style will be informal, with much time devoted to discussions.
Sunday 1 will be arrival day, the seminars will start on Monday 2. We will keep the possibility of having a final session Saturday 7 in the morning.
