BritGrav 2026

The 26th BritGrav meeting will be hosted by the Gravity Exploration Institute at the School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University.

The meeting will be held on the 9th and 10th of April 2026.

The aim of BritGrav is to bring together early-career researchers working on all aspects of gravitational physics, including astrophysics, cosmology, general relativity, quantum gravity, gravitational-wave data analysis and instrumentation.

Following the BritGrav tradition, the meeting will consist of short talks, with priority given to PhD students and postdocs. The meeting has no registration fee. Limited funding will be available from the IOP Gravitational Physics Group to support travel for PhD students based in the UK and Ireland. You may request travel support by emailing the organisers. See also the logistics page.

At the end of the meeting, a prize for the Best Student Talk, sponsored by the IOP Publishing Group, will be awarded.

Bydd 26ain cyfarfod BritGrav yn cael ei gynnal gan Sefydliad Archwilio Disgyrchiant Ysgol Ffiseg a Seryddiaeth Prifysgol Caerdydd.

Cynhelir y cyfarfod ar 9 a 10 Ebrill 2026.

Nod BritGrav yw dwyn ynghyd ymchwilwyr sydd ar ddechrau eu gyrfa sy'n gweithio ar bob agwedd ar ffiseg disgyrchiant, gan gynnwys astroffiseg, cosmoleg, perthynoledd cyffredinol, disgyrchiant cwantwm, dadansoddi data tonnau disgyrchiant ac offeryniaeth.

Gan ddilyn traddodiad BritGrav, bydd y cyfarfod yn cynnwys sgyrsiau byr, gyda blaenoriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i fyfyrwyr PhD ac ôl-ddoethurol. Nid oes ffi gofrestru ar gyfer y cyfarfod. Bydd cyllid cyfyngedig ar gael gan Grŵp Ffiseg Disgyrchiant IOP i gefnogi myfyrwyr PhD yn y DU ac Iwerddon gyda chostau teithio. Gallwch chi ofyn am gymorth gyda chostau teithio drwy e-bostio'r trefnwyr.

Ar ddiwedd y cyfarfod, bydd gwobr yn cael ei dyfarnu am y sgwrs orau gan fyfyriwr. Grŵp Cyhoeddi IOP sy’n noddi’r wobr hon.
