The workshop aims to bring together experts in the study of gravity
in higher-dimensional spacetime, to explore distinctive aspects of gravity and cosmological solutions embedded in curved spaces. We will
be interested in reviewing progress in understanding brane-world gravity, the connection with string theory, and seeking observational
tests, as well as exploring outstanding challenges and problems in the field.
The workshop will begin with a 3-day meeting, 18 -
20 September. Invited speakers include:
