21st Midwest Relativity Meeting
November 4-5, 2011

The 21st Midwest Relativity Meeting will be held Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5, 2011 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The format of the meeting will follow previous regional meetings, where all participants may present a talk of approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the total number of talks. We intend for the meeting to cover a broad range of topics in gravitation physics, including classical and quantum gravity, numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, cosmology, gravitational waves and experimental gravity. As this is a regional meeting, many of the participants will be from the greater United States Midwest and Canada, but researchers and students from other areas are also welcome.

People who wish to give a presentation should fill out the relevant part of the registration form. The exact schedule will be available shortly after the registration deadline (October 14, 2011). Students are strongly encouraged to give a presentation, as the regional meetings are intended to serve as a less formal environment to give a talk than many other meetings. Also, the student giving the best presentation will receive the Blue Apple Award, sponsored by the APS Topical Group in Gravitation.

Dates: November 4-5, 2011
Location: Engineering Sciences Building (1101 W. Springfield Ave, Urbana, Illinois 61801, USA)
Room: 190

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support provided to this meeting by the Department of Physics and the Department of Astronomy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
