Black Holes, Gravitational Waves and Cosmology

a meeting in celebration of the

60th birthday of Remo Ruffini

on the

30th anniversary of the book of this title
by Martin Rees, Remo Ruffini and John Archibald Wheeler

July 15 - 20, 2002 Rome/Pescara, Italy

Wimmer representation of a black hole

These three topics characterize the three main areas in which Remo has worked with a long list of collaborators both before and since that book was published. The meeting will review these areas and work done in them over the past three decades.

For many of us who began our research as students working with Remo, he has had an important influence on the direction of our careers.  We members of the organizing committees especially look forward to this occasion to meet again with the many friends our association with Remo has led to over the years.
