›Probing Strong Gravity near Black Holes

To discuss and compare different methods of studying strong gravity effects around astrophysical black holes of all masses. Both theoretical and, when available, observational points of view will be discussed in the context of present and future approaches: line and continuum spectroscopy, timing, polarimetry, imaging.

The Conference program will consist of Invited lectures, Contributed talks, and Posters. We plan ample time for discussions. In a round-table debate the participants will address the most controversial issues and propose ways  in which we can make progress on them.
