General Information
The idea of a biennial gathering of all Greek relativists that are working either within the borders of Greece or abroad, originated in 1982 from a few inspired people (the late Professor Vasilis Xanthopoulos was among them) who wanted to bring together relativists who work isolated from each other in various Departments around the globe. The first conference by the title NEB (acronym for Neóteres Exelíxis sti Barítita = Recent Developments in Gravity) took place in 1982 in Crete. Since then 11 subsequent Conferences have been organized by different Universities of Greece (a full list of the places of all Conferences can be found at the end of this document). As time passed more and more young students, undergraduate and graduate ones have been attracted by the gravitational field of beauty of Relativistic Theory, have attended the Conference and have presented their own research projects. In parallel, at least during the last Conferences, the Organizing Committees have attempted to lure well-known International scientists of our field to visit our beautiful country and spend four days presenting the new developments of their research field and talk, in a relaxed environment, with the Greek relativists both senior and young ones. Especially this year, we have tried to invite even more International relativists, from very different fields of Relativity and have asked the European Physical Society to sponsor our Conference in an attempt to turn our national meeting into a more Internationally-oriented Conference. The idea is to transform it to a well-known Conference in order to open up our community to the worldwide scientific community.We look forward to see you all in Nafplion and spend four productive, pleasant, and sunny days.The Organizing Committee
